Message for U.S. Citizens (March 24, 2020)

The U.S. Embassy in Haiti continues to work closely with the State Department Repatriation Task Force to assist U.S. citizens who wish to depart Haiti, while observing the Haitian Government’s measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Eastern Airlines (a private company) has the permission of the Haitian government to operate repatriation flights for American citizens wishing to depart Haiti and has scheduled additional flights for Thursday, March 26.  These are direct charter commercial flights, for which passengers must book and be ticketed directly with the airline. Complete information, including the scheduled times, costs and ticketing information can be found on the Eastern Airlines website at: https://goeasternair.com/.

Travelers should be prepared to present proof that they have purchased a ticket to be allowed entry to the Toussaint Louverture Airport in Port-au-Prince.  Please also understand that luggage is limited to only four bags per passenger.

The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to enroll at STEP.state.gov to receive emergency updates from the Embassy and should monitor the Embassy website and Twitter feed for up-to-date information.
