Spirit Airlines Flight Hit by Gunfire, Diverts to Dominican Republic |News Today |AP1E
On Monday, November 11, a Spirit Airlines flight bound for Port-au-Prince, Haiti, was struck by gunfire while in the air, prompting an emergency diversion to the Dominican Republic. The plane was damaged, with visible bullet holes, though fortunately, no passengers were injured. However, a flight attendant was grazed by a bullet. Spirit Airlines confirmed that passengers on the flight would be flown back to Fort Lauderdale on a different plane, and the airline has suspended all flights to Port-au-Prince. The U.S. Embassy reported that all flights in and out of the city's airport have been halted due to gang-led efforts to block travel, which include violent attacks and disruptions to roads and airports. The situation in Haiti has worsened, with armed gangs previously shooting at planes, including a UN helicopter that was targeted last month. In this video, we explore the impact of this violent incident on air travel to Haiti and the ongoing security crisis in the country.
