US based carrier, JetBlue Airways, has pushed back the resumption of its flights to the Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Haiti, citing ongoing civil unrest and security concerns.
The airline had previously suspended flights until April 30, but now says service will remain halted until at least June 11 this year.
A spokesperson for JetBlue told the Miami Herald that the airline will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide an update on plans as necessary.
The announcement comes just one week before the Federal Aviation Administration is set to decide whether to lift or extend its ban on US commercial and cargo flights to Haiti.
That restriction, first imposed in November 2024, is in place until March 12.
But, with worsening gang violence in Port-au-Prince, it remains unclear if the FAA will allow flights to resume.
The FAA ban was instituted after gangs opened fire on three US planes, injuring a Spirit Airlines flight attendant and forcing airlines to halt all service to Haiti.
