April 4 marked one month since the airfield ceased operations due to intense activities by criminal gangs in the area.
During a gun battle, a stray bullet struck the fuselage of a Sunrise Airways Airbus that would cover the Port-au-Prince-Havana route.
The runway area was surrounded by gang members, who waited for then Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who was returning from a trip from Kenya.
Henry signed an agreement to bring to this capital a multinational force led by Kenya to assist the Haitian National Police.
Henry is currently in Puerto Rico and cannot return home.
