Toussaint Louverture International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Haiti, serving as the main entry point for international travelers arriving in Port-au-Prince. Named after the Haitian revolutionary leader François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture, the airport handles the majority of Haiti's commercial air traffic and is a critical hub for humanitarian and relief operations.
The airport has faced significant challenges over the years, including damage from the devastating January 2010 earthquake, which temporarily disrupted operations and required international assistance to restore functionality. It has since remained the focal point for relief agencies, NGOs, and commercial airlines operating in and out of Haiti.
Despite ongoing infrastructure and security challenges in Haiti, the airport continues to serve multiple international destinations, particularly in North America and the Caribbean, connecting the Haitian diaspora and supporting the country's economy.
