## Description

For decades a domestic airstrip on Haiti's southern peninsula, Antoine-Simon International Airport (CYA/MTCA) crossed into international status on 5 March 2025, when the transitional government commissioned an extended 1,850-metre runway, upgraded navigation aids and a new terminal at Les Cayes. The first scheduled international arrival, an IBC Airways service from Miami, touched down on 10 November 2025, while Sunrise Airways links the airport with Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien on domestic routes. There is no confirmed dedicated cargo terminal or freighter operation here: air freight moves as belly cargo on aircraft in the 50-80 seat class, which caps shipment weight and dimensions. The airport's value for shippers lies in bypassing the insecure overland corridor to the capital, giving the Grand Sud region a direct air link. Consolidated or outsize consignments still route through Toussaint Louverture International (PAP) or Hugo Chávez International (CAP) at Cap-Haïtien, with the port of Port-au-Prince as the sea freight reference. Customs clearance runs through Haiti's AGD administration, and importers should plan generous buffers for processing times and the volatile security situation.
