Airport Infrastructure Details

The airfield is located north-east of the city centre, in the populated area of Tabarre. Hence the airport, once far from downtown Port-au-Prince, is now part of the town. This road is often congested and traffic jams are a daily occurrence, especially during rush hours. The passenger terminal building of the international airport is being rebuilt, but current structures are insufficient. Jet fuel reservoirs are located in the airport perimeters. Different shipping companies have offices at the airport. A customs office is also present. On the same airport perimeter, domestics terminal called Guy Malary Terminal serving the domestic flights and UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) flights.  The domestics and international terminals are not connected. Guy Malary has limited capacity both in terms of passenger and cargo. There is no proper storage capacity in the airport perimeter. Air shipping companies have limited space to receive deliveries. Airport perimeter is permeable in terms of security.
