The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince now prohibits all U.S. government personnel from flying on Haiti's Caribintair Airlines and warns travelers to avoid the carrier. The airline has had two emergency landings in the past month, and Haiti's civil aviation authority has grounded its domestic flights while continuing to allow flights to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The U.S. Embassy prohibition covers all flights, including those to Santo Domingo.
