Jacmel Airport holds a unique place in Haiti’s aviation landscape. Located near the picturesque coastal city of Jacmel on the country’s south coast, this airport was the sixth busiest in Haiti in terms of passenger volume before the devastating 2010 Haitian earthquake struck. It primarily facilitated travel between the capital, Port-au-Prince, and various destinations across Haiti, playing a crucial role in connecting travelers to this culturally rich region.
The airport saw its initial regular airline service commence on January 29, 2005, marked by a flight from Tortug’ Air. However, the airport’s true significance emerged in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Following the disaster, Jacmel Airport became a vital hub for relief efforts, particularly supported by Canadian Forces and other international partners. The runway, although initially facing challenges due to trees at its approach, saw improvements and even gained nighttime landing capabilities through runway lighting.
As part of broader humanitarian efforts, plans were made to shift some military and civilian flights from Port-au-Prince to Jacmel to alleviate congestion. This change aimed to help restore normalcy to air travel following the earthquake. Subsequent tree and terrain clearings allowed for the acceptance of heavy-lift aircraft like the C-17 Globemaster, facilitating disaster recovery operations. However, after the Canadian Forces’ withdrawal and the loss of essential equipment, Jacmel Airport could no longer handle international flights, affecting its certification.
Despite these challenges, Jacmel Airport has remained resilient. In September 2010, a new terminal building was inaugurated, accompanied by runway resurfacing. As of April 2022, Sunrise Airways has reintroduced scheduled flights between Jacmel and Port-au-Prince, showcasing the airport’s enduring importance in connecting travelers to this vibrant part of Haiti.
