Haiti - Travel : Sunrise Airways wants to open a direct route between Haiti and Newark (NJ) 14/10/2025 09:54:35
Rather than investing in purchasing or leasing entire aircraft and staffing, the wet lease agreement proposed by Sunrise Airways provides for the lease of an aircraft and its crew, as well as the handling of insurance, maintenance, and other associated operations by an external third party, allowing the Newark route to operate without Sunrise being required to own all of the assets, while accelerating the launch of services. This initiative is being closely monitored by aviation regulators and industry observers, as its success would mark an important milestone in Haiti's efforts to rebuild and reposition itself as an international tourist destination. To launch such a service, approval from U.S. aviation regulators is essential. The relevant authorities will assess whether the wet-lease operator and the proposed service comply with safety, security, and bilateral agreements. This includes reviewing maintenance records, crew licenses, insurance, liability provisions, and compliance with U.S. aviation standards. This process may involve public comment periods, detailed technical filings, and coordination with Haitian and U.S. civil aviation agencies. One of the key tests is demonstrating that the wet-lease agreement does not circumvent important safety or oversight provisions. Regulators will want assurances that Sunrise Airways is ultimately responsible and that oversight mechanisms are sufficiently robust. If there is any doubt, additional mitigation measures may be required, such as joint oversight, audit rights, or insurance guarantees. If approval is granted and the service begins, a direct air link between Haiti and Newark would have significant implications. This route would provide new tourism opportunities to and from Haiti, expanding access to the Caribbean, improving travel conditions for Americans, and facilitating access to the United States for Haitians and the large Haitian diaspora. Approval of the airline's proposal to lease an aircraft from a third-party operator will allow the company to meet the growing demand for direct flights between Haiti and New Jersey. The introduction of flights connecting Haiti directly to Newark is a logical step, as the United States remains Haiti's largest trading partner, both for tourism and trade. With a large portion of the Haitian population based in the United States, particularly in New Jersey, New York, and Florida, direct air links between Haiti and the United States are equally important for tourism and family reunification. The Newark-Haiti route is also expected to open a vital transportation route for the large Haitian diaspora living in the United States. Many members of the diaspora travel frequently to and from Haiti for family visits, cultural events, and even business engagements. Newark Liberty International Airport is among the busiest airports in the Northeast United States and serves as a vital gateway to the region, providing excellent access for visitors and migrants.
