American Airlines will launch new daily service between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Cap-Haitien, Haiti (CAP), beginning October 2, 2014 (subject to government approval).

"We have proudly served Haiti for more than 40 years and believe this new service is important not only for our customers, but also as an important catalyst to develop the north coast and open up this historically significant destination," said Art Torno, Senior Vice President – Mexico, Caribbean and Latin America.

"We are thrilled that American Airlines has decided to launch the first nonstop service from the United States to Cap-Haitien," said Haitian Prime Minister Laurent S. Lamothe. "This new route represents a tremendous opportunity for significant economic impact for our country by connecting Miami directly to the second city of Haiti."
