Haiti’s flagship carrier Sunrise Airways has unveiled strategic expansion plans with the inauguration of direct flight services connecting Cap-Haïtien International Airport (CAP) to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). The new route, scheduled to commence operations on December 15, 2025, will operate tri-weekly with flights every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The flight schedule establishes convenient morning departures from Cap-Haïtien at 10:00 AM local time, arriving in Fort Lauderdale at noon (Flight S6 612). Return services (Flight S6 611) will depart Florida at 1:15 PM, touching down in northern Haiti at 3:15 PM. This carefully timed scheduling facilitates both business and leisure travel with optimal connectivity.
This development marks Fort Lauderdale as the second Floridian destination in Sunrise Airways’ network, complementing their existing daily Miami services launched in October 2023. The airline will deploy modern Airbus A320 aircraft on this route, configured in a single-class cabin arrangement accommodating up to 179 passengers per flight.
Gary Stone, the incoming Chief Executive Officer set to assume leadership in June 2026, emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion: ‘The integration of Fort Lauderdale into our operational network provides an attractive and convenient alternative for enhancing connectivity between Haiti and South Florida, addressing growing travel demands in the region.’
The new air bridge is expected to stimulate economic activity, foster tourism exchange, and strengthen diaspora connections between northern Haiti and Florida’s southeastern coast.
