Tortug' Air

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tortug' Air is a domestic airline in Haiti. The airline was founded in August 2004 and is based in Port-au-Prince. According to the airline, more than 80 people are employed with the company.

Tortug' Air is a part of Haiti's transportation infrastructure. Despite the country's small size, the road network is in poor condition [1]. Thus, air transportation takes on an oversized importance for Haiti. Tortug' Air serves that need with its domestic schedule. For example, its short flight from Port-au-Prince to Jacmel could be driven instead; but it would take approximately two hours by road. It is only eleven minutes by air [2].

[edit] Destinations

Tortug' Air serves five destinations within Haiti, including the capital Port-au-Prince, the northern city of Cap Haitien, and the southern city of Jacmel -- a city of 15,000 that the Haitian government is trying to turn into a full-blown tourist destination[3].
