Haiti airport to reopen for big carriers on Friday
None
Haiti's international airport, a key economic lifeline for the poorest country in the Americas, will reopen to major commercial airlines on Friday for the first time since a massive earthquake destroyed its control tower, a US military official said.
American Airlines will begin flying to Port-au-Prince on Feb. 19, with Air Canada and Air France to follow shortly after, Brigadier General Darryl Burke, vice commander of Air Forces Southern, said in an interview over the weekend. (Reuters)
