Spirit Airlines says flight to Haiti’s capital hit by gunfire

MIAMI, United States (AFP) – A Spirit Airlines flight to Haiti’s troubled capital was forced to divert to the Dominican Republic when gunfire struck the jet, the American carrier said Monday, adding that a crew member suffered minor injuries.

Flight 951 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Port-au-Prince was “diverted and landed safely in Santiago, Dominican Republic,” and a subsequent inspection “revealed evidence of damage to the aircraft consistent with gunfire,” Spirit Airlines said in a statement, adding that its service to Haiti has been suspended.
