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.
