Haiti: Competition for AA on Miami-Port-au-Prince

Written byAlice Backer
Posted 30 December 2006 4:59 GMT

Jojo of Collectif Haiti de Provence is happy (Fr) that Spirit Airlines is offering a Miami-Port-au-Prince flight in addition to American Airlines’ but cautions: “Spirit Airlines is welcome so long as it doesn't align itself to the detriment of the public with American Airlines’ practices. $370 for a 2 hour flight is prohibitive and abusive. In off-peak season, it is possible to pay less to cross the Atlantic … May this be the end … of the American Airlines monopoly.”
