Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti

Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti

On August 8, 2014, I had a chance to visit Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti to evaluate how they have been delivering services to their consumers. It is located in a great location, at the corner of 82nd Street and 2nd Avenue, NE. This is considered a prime location for business in the Little Haiti area as many Haitians see first thing as they travel in the busy NE 2nd Avenue. You just can't miss it.

The appearance was very impressive at Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti. You enter a room clean and well organized. There are plenty of space to seat while waiting for the next available agent to serve you. Don't worry about it, you will not have to wait that long anyway. This site is really not crowded. While I was there, it did not take me even thirty seconds for someone to ask me how she could help me.

Although I received prompt and quick services at Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti, the reception was far from being warmth. Like many other Haitian businesses, Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti suffers from lack of customer service skills. It was not long before I realized that the person who was serving me was not willing to go out of her way to help. Instead, she was ready to refer me to the next staff member just for a simple question. In addition, they were not able to give me a business card.

This is not surprising and for a Haitian business in little Haiti, that is considered to be normal. The Haitian customer usually does not ask for much and sometime forget that they are the one keeping these people in business.

This is to illustrate the inaugural flight of American Airlines #1632, which took place on Thursday, October 2, 2014 and landed in the City of Cap-Haitian, Haiti for the first time. That was a historical day for the population in the North of the country as they celebrated this day that they have been waiting for.

On hand for the event was President Michel Martelly, who flew into Miami where the flight would originate the night before. He was met in Cap-Haitien by the Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe, the Minister for Tourism, Stephanie Villedrouin, Venezuelan Ambassador to Haiti, Pedro Antonio Canino Gonzalez and Vice President of American Airlines, Art Torno, among others.

The celebration involved a ceremony at the airport following the successful landing, at which the President stated that the feat had been long in coming. He cited that governments had been trying to achieve this since 1952.

First American Airlines flight to Hugo Chavez International Airport of Cap Haitien

First American Airlines flight to Hugo Chavez International Airport of Cap Haitien

The Venezuelan gift that keeps on giving, the Petrocaribe deal, has made it possible for a dream long-held by some to be realized in the North of Haiti in particular, the city of Cap-Haitien specifically. It is the dream of having more than just domestic flights linking the North to the rest of the world; it is the dream of having international flights land at the Hugo Chavez International Airport in Cap-Haitien.

Still, the story isn't about Petrocaribe, except that some of the funds saved by the government from the oil deal were used for the renovation necessary to make the dream a reality. The price was $30 million, the work done the extension of a runway and the building of a fire station (still being done) as well as the remodeling of the interior of the airport.
