"It was a hard decision but it was necessary, especially in an environment where the cost of fuel is high," a note reads from the desk of Nathan J. Gatten Senior Vice President of American Airlines to Mr. Renet Prévilon, Director of Customs at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, on Aug. 21, 2018.

"American Airlines will continue to operate three flights linking Port-au-Prince Haiti to Miami and from there we will send passengers to over 140 destinations in the world," the note said.
