The United Nations is welcoming reports that the Dominican Republic will reopen its airspace to Haiti, restoring flights between Santo Domingo and Cap-Haïtien that could begin as early as next month.
“We expect the reopening of the air corridor to help aid agencies move staff and supplies into northern Haiti,” said UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric.
Last weekend, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, which share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, announced in a joint statement that they have agreed to reopen their airspace, allowing flights between their countries for the first time in more than two years.
