Haiti is my home, and every time airlines stop flying there, it feels like we’re being cut off from our families, our roots, and our country. I have loved ones in Haiti that I want to visit, help, and support, but without affordable flights, it becomes almost impossible.

JetBlue used to make travel to Haiti possible for so many of us in the diaspora. It wasn’t just about flights — it was about connection, hope, and opportunity. When airlines stop serving Haiti, our personal and cultural ties are strained, and our access to our beloved homeland is heavily restricted.

The situation in Haiti has undeniably been challenging, but by choosing safe and stable airports like Cap-Haïtien and Les Cayes, JetBlue can continue to offer its services without compromising on safety. Cap-Haïtien has been known for its security and operational stability, and Les Cayes is developing into a promising travel hub. These regions are safe for passengers and can maintain regular airline operations.

According to data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), focusing on secure and reliable airports not only ensures passenger safety but also helps stabilize travel operations, which in turn supports local economies. Resuming flights to these areas could bring positive economic impacts by helping businesses thrive and families reconnect.

By convincing JetBlue to resume flights to Cap-Haïtien and Les Cayes, we can revive this vital lifeline for the Haitian community, making it easier for families to come together and for cultural ties to remain strong. It’s about more than just air travel; it’s about sustaining a bridge between lives, opening opportunities, and nurturing hope for a better tomorrow.

Join me in calling on JetBlue to reconsider its decision to halt flights to Haiti and to explore these safer routes that facilitate travel for thousands who, like myself, yearn to visit their homeland once more.
