Haiti and Dominican Republic Reopen Shared Airspace After Two-Year Standoff
Delegations from Haiti and the Dominican Republic signed a bilateral agreement on April 17, 2026, to reopen their shared airspace, ending a closure mandated in 2024. Flights are scheduled to resume in May 2026. The move is intended to boost economic ties and facilitate mobility as Haiti prepares for the deployment of an international Gang Suppression Force (GSF) to combat criminal groups currently controlling large swaths of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
