The DR aviation authorities say that flights to and from Haiti were suspended because the flight permit for the only airline serving that route had expired and that the airline had not completed the renewal process. The Civil Aviation Board (JAC) reported that the program of flights permitted for the Tortugair Company, the only airline with permission to cover the route between Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince and back had expired on 16 April. The JAC said that Tortugair was operating as a charter company between the two capitals. According to the report, the JAC had issued the airline 179 landing permits for an equal number of flights so far this year. "On the other hand, airline companies from the Dominican Republic have requested similar permits from Haiti and these have been stalled in the approval process for a long time." The statement also points out that the JAC is studying a new request by Tortugair to fly between the two countries.
