No Haiti Flights Yet from U.S. Carriers

DALLAS (AP) _ American and Delta airlines say they’ve yet to schedule resumption of regular service to Haiti, and they continue to cancel flights for the next several days.

Both carriers have operated relief missions approved by U.S. government officials, and they’ve carried people out of Haiti on return flights. But they haven’t set target dates for resuming commercial flights.

Haiti’s lone international airport, in the capital of Port-au-Prince, still isn’t functioning normally since sustaining heavy damage in last month’s earthquake.

A spokesman for Fort Worth-based American says it continues to work on restarting commercial service.

In the meantime, American and sister carrier American Eagle have continued to fly relief missions with the approval of the Defense Department. Some return flights have carried passengers approved by the State Department out of Haiti.
