History

Jérémie airport was freshly renovated in 2020 to allow for bigger planes to land. The arrival and departure terminals were also renovated. There are talks of expanding the runway to be big enough to allow international flights to land directly in Jérémie. Such a change would allow for international flights to land directly to the Southern part of Haiti, bypassing the busy Capital, Port-au-Prince. The Southern Peninsula of Haiti is very beautiful with a lot of opportunity for beautiful landscape pictures, and contains some of the best looking natural white sand beaches. However, the Haitian authorities are working on filing the appropriate registration to list the runway as such.
