A Spirit Airlines flight was forced to change course to the Dominican Republic after it was reportedly hit by gunfire while preparing to land at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Monday. One crew member sustained injuries in the incident.

Flight NK951, which was en route from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Port-au-Prince, made a safe diversion to Santiago, Dominican Republic (STI).

According to a spokesperson for Spirit Airlines, “Upon arrival at STI, the aircraft was inspected and found to have damage indicative of gunfire. One flight attendant reported minor injuries and is receiving medical attention. Fortunately, there were no passenger injuries.” The spokesperson added, “The aircraft has been taken out of service, and we are coordinating a different flight to return our guests and crew to FLL today. The safety of our guests and team members is our highest priority, and we have suspended services at Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Cap-Haitien (CAP) pending a thorough review.”

The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed that Port-au-Prince airport is temporarily shut down. Additionally, American Airlines and JetBlue, the only other U.S. airlines operating flights to Haiti, have announced travel waivers that allow customers with flights scheduled to or from the country to alter their plans at no extra cost through November 16.

The U.S. State Department had issued a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory for Haiti on September 18 due to ongoing civil unrest in the nation.
