Cap Haitien International Airport guide

Cap-Haïtien International Airport is the main gateway to northern Haiti and the second largest airport in the country after Port-au-Prince. It sits on the flat coastal plain just south of Cap-Haïtien, close enough that the drive into the city is short. Travellers also use it to reach the Citadelle Laferrière and Sans-Souci Palace near Milot, and the cruise destination of Labadee.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 05/23, at an elevation of 10 feet above sea level. Venezuela funded its reconstruction, which finished in 2013, and the airport reopened to commercial service in 2014 with a first American Airlines flight from Miami. Published runway lengths run from 7,500 feet to about 8,700 feet, so check with the airport authority before planning charter or cargo operations.

The terminal is small. It has check-in areas, passport control, and separate arrival and departure lounges. Sunrise Airways is the main scheduled carrier, with flights to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, Newark, Providenciales and Les Cayes. American Airlines is listed to return to the Miami route from 1 November 2026. The Office National de l'Aviation Civile owns the airport and the Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale operates it.
