About AA Operations in Haiti

The company’s operations in Haiti will remain closed for at least the next four to five days. U.S. Special Operations forces have reopened Haiti’s airport to allow humanitarian aid; however, the airport remains closed to commercial traffic.

Humanitarian Aid

American and American Eagle are sending aid into Haiti. Three Eagle aircraft (ATRs) arrived in Port-au-Prince yesterday, providing 30,000 pounds of supplies, including water, food and other non-perishable goods. More relief missions are planned for today and Friday.
