The Federal Aviation Administration has banned U.S. flights to Haiti for 30 days in the wake of Monday's gunfire incidents, according to a Notice to Air Mission issued Tuesday.
"U.S. civil aviation operations in the territory and airspace of Haiti below 10,000 feet" will be prohibited, according to the FAA.
The move comes after a Spirit Airlines plane flying from Florida to Haiti was diverted after it was struck by gunfire while attempting to land in Port-au-Prince, according to the Haitian National Office of Civil Aviation.
