## Description

A runway extension completed at the end of January 2025 changed what Jacmel Airport (IATA: JAK, ICAO: MTJA) on Haiti's southern coast can do, and the country's security crisis changed what it is needed for. Sunrise Airways now operates scheduled domestic services from here to destinations including Cap-Haïtien and Port-au-Prince, and JAK is among the fields US operators may serve under the revised restrictions. What the airport does not have is a cargo terminal, a bonded warehouse or freighter service: air cargo capacity is limited to belly space on passenger flights. The wider picture remains difficult — most US commercial flights to Toussaint Louverture (PAP) have been suspended since November 2024 because armed groups control large parts of the capital, and the FAA most recently extended its restrictions on US operations below 10,000 feet in Haitian airspace into early September 2026, with exceptions for humanitarian and government missions. Exports from the Sud-Est department, chiefly coffee, handicrafts and papier-mâché art, therefore travel by road to Port-au-Prince or overland into the Dominican Republic, where Santo Domingo (SDQ) serves as the functioning air freight gateway. Check the current operational and security status before booking anything into Jacmel.
