Lennot Haitiin? Tuo lentomatka saattaa olla enemmän kuin vain turistiretki!

FAA - gangi väkivalta - Haitin lentoliikenne - JetBlue - lentokielto Haitissa - Lääkärith ilman rajoja - Spirit Airlines

FAA kielsi Yhdysvaltojen lennot Haitiin 30 päiväksi. Suuntaa lentokentälle, mutta hissukseen, sillä nyt voi olla vaarallista!

Haitin tilanne on tällä hetkellä kriittinen, ja Yhdysvaltojen liittovaltion ilmailuviranomainen (FAA) on päättänyt kieltää kaikki Yhdysvaltojen lentoyhtiöiden lennot Haitiin seuraavien 30 päivän ajan. Tämä päätös tuli voimaan sen jälkeen, kun kolme lentokonetta, mukaan lukien Spirit Airlinesin ja JetBlue'n koneet, olivat joutuneet tulituksen kohteeksi lennon aikana Port-au-Princen yllä. Tilanne on saanut vakavan käänteen ja nostaa kysymyksiä matkustamisen turvallisuudesta kyseiseen alueeseen.

Haitin pääkaupungissa on ollut liikaa väkivaltaa ja jengien toimintaa viime aikoina, mikä aiheuttaa huolta paikallisten asukkaiden elinoloista ja matkailumahdollisuuksista. Vain muutama päivä sitten jengit ampuivat Spirit Airlinesin lentokonetta, kun se oli laskumetreillä, mikä johti lentokentän sulkemiseen ja lentomatkustamisen varmistamattomuuteen. FAA:n kiireinen päätös on pelkästään varotoimi, mutta samalla se osoittaa, kuinka vaaralliseksi tilanne on käynyt.

Vaikka uusi pääministeri on nimetty, Haitin tilanne alkaa muistuttaa enemmän oppikirjamallista kaaosta. Kysymyksemme on, kuinka paljon yllätys paikallisille tulee, kun matkustajat jäävät markkinoilta ja heidän elämänsä ovat aivan toimintakyvyttömiä. Pääkaupunkiseudulla on kuulemma joka puolella ihmisiä, jotka povaavat vaisuja elonmerkkejä, kun kansainväliset lentoyhtiöt peruvat lentojaan.

Lentoyhtiöiden päätös peruuttaa lentoja Haitiihin ei välttämättä ole vain lyhyen aikavälin ratkaisu, màs ihmisten turvallisuus on uhattuna. Tiedätkö, että Haiti on ollut yksi maailman köyhimmistä maista jo pitkään? Tämän hetken jengiväkivaltakin juontaa juurensa monista sosiaalisista ja taloudellisista ongelmista. Lisätäksemme tietojasi, Haitilla on myös yksi maailman kauneimmista rannoista, ja sen elämyksellinen kulttuuri on koukuttava, vaikka tilanne on tällä hetkellä harkittu riskitilanne. Suosittelemme varmasti miettiä omia matkasuunnitelmiasi ja varmistamaan, että matkustat turvallisesti.
