The Haitian airline Sunrise Airways is hitting a new milestone in its regional growth.
The Haitian airline Sunrise Airways is taking a new step in its regional development. Starting June 26, 2026, it will launch two new routes from Cap-Haïtien, connecting Haiti’s second city to Punta Cana and Santiago in the Dominican Republic. The airline announced this in a press release on Thursday, June 25.
“These new routes aim to strengthen connectivity between Haiti and the rest of the Caribbean, while offering business and leisure travelers more convenient travel options. Additionally, the Cap-Haïtien–Punta Cana route represents a strategic opportunity for transit to other international destinations,” the company said in the release.
Sébastien Bayard, Deputy CEO of Sunrise Airways, highlighted the importance of these new routes for improving air access to Haiti. “The launch of flights connecting Cap-Haïtien to Punta Cana and Santiago marks another important step in expanding our regional network. These new routes strengthen connectivity between Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the entire Caribbean, while offering travelers easier access to regional and international destinations,” said Sébastien Bayard, Deputy CEO of Sunrise Airways, in the statement.“Reservations are now open. Travelers are invited to check www.sunriseairways.net, use the Sunrise Airways mobile app, or contact the company’s sales points or authorized travel agencies to find out flight dates, schedules, and available fares,” the company said.
The Dominican Republic’s ‘Junta de Aviación Civil’ (JAC) has passed a resolution to reopen Dominican airspace to flights coming from Cap-Haïtien. The document was published on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
According to the text, the JAC has decided to resume passenger and cargo flights between the Dominican Republic and Haiti via Cap-Haitien International Airport and the Dominican airports starting May 30, 2026. However, commercial passenger, cargo, or mail flights originating from or destined for any other point in Haiti besides Cap-Haitien International Airport will remain restricted.
