Fuel sir! Fuel! You can fly in but not out. Plus, the aircraft on the ground are using room for any other aircraft to land. The FAA shut it down. The ports are buggered. So, operations will need to done off a carrier. I understand the military will be working the ports in hope of getting some parts of it operational. Further, there are total airports on Haiti. Two are asphalt and the others are dirt. Even if the other airport is operational the question is, can trucks get from one airport to the other? The country as you know is very poor and paved roads, etc. just do not exist.
