The History Of Toussaint Louverture International Airport. Toussaint L'Ouverture is the busiest Haitian international airport located in Tabarre, near Port-au-Prince. In the beginning, during the 1940s, it had been both a military and civil airport. Later, during 1950s and 1960s, it served as a U.S. military base in Haiti. In 1965, with the grant money collected from the "People of Haiti" (lottery, taxes, etc.,) and the U.S. government, the airport was developed in the name of then President François Duvalier. In 1986, it was renamed as Port-au-Prince International Airport. The name was changed again in 2003 by President Jean Bertrand Aristide in the honor of the Haitian revolutionary leader of Toussaint Louverture. The airport was severely damaged in the 2010 earthquake. President Martelly has opened the newly repaired arrival terminal on 25 November 2012. The main building serves as the International terminal. It houses two-story concrete and glass structure, few retail stores. Immigration and check-in facilities are located on the ground floor. The "Guy Malary Terminal" is used for domestic flights. There are specified areas for general aviation and cargo flight. The airport has three jet bridges, mobile stairs, and the ramp can handle 12 planes. There is a renewal program that to be completed by 2015.
Construction work of brand-new airport in Jeremie, Haiti
Here is a picture of the Airport in the city of Jeremie. The Government of Michel Martelly has decided to transform it into a major major airport in the country.
Jérémie or Jeremi (in Haitian Creole) is a commune and the capital city of the Grand'Anse Department, in Haiti. Just one week after the inauguration of the new airport terminal in Cap-Haitien, Haiti has started the construction of a brand new airport at Jérémie. Presently, Jérémie has a small existing airport, which is the fifth most important in terms of passenger traffic, although there are no regular scheduled commercial services to the city. The construction of the new terminal is an effort to support the growing tourism sector as there are many beautiful beaches in the Grand'Anse area. The debut of the Cap-Haitien airport in the last month with the launch of daily services by American Airlines between Cap-Haitien and Miami, was a big success.

Dominican Republic Controversy Sparks Airport Demonstration
The Dominican Republic (DR) is experiencing fallout from the ruling threatening to displace more than 250,000 Haitians, descendents of illegal immigrants.
Haitians have struck back at the DR's $4.5 billion tourist industry. At an airport terminal, they placed an image of a bikini-clad woman sunbathing on a beach. She has bloodied hands and the lettering below the image says the DR denationalizes more than a quarter of a million human beings.
The DR is under pressure from CARICOM to reverse the ruling.
