On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration prohibited U.S. civilian flights to and from Haiti for 30 days following an airplane being hit by gunfire while attempting to land in Port-au-Prince the previous day.

The FAA's prohibition extends to U.S. flights flying under 10,000 feet in Haiti's airspace.

On Monday, Spirit Airlines Flight 951 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was damaged by gunfire and diverted to Santiago in the Dominican Republic at around 11:30 a.m. The airline stated that one flight attendant on board sustained minor injuries, but no passenger injuries were reported.

Two other flights were diverted, and flights to the Haitian capital have also been canceled.

The U.S. State Department on Monday warned that gangs in Port-au-Prince may use violence and disrupt transportation to prevent travel to and from the city.
