Gateway to Haiti's scenic southern coastal city.

Location

Jacmel, Haiti

Jacmel Airport (IATA: JAK, ICAO: MTJA) is a small domestic airport serving Jacmel, a historic coastal city on the southern peninsula of Haiti. It provides essential air connectivity for a region otherwise accessible primarily by road, which can be challenging due to Haiti's mountainous terrain. The airport operates limited scheduled and charter services, primarily linking Jacmel with Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. It plays an important role in supporting regional tourism and humanitarian operations, particularly given the area's cultural significance and the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Jacmel is known for its French colonial architecture, vibrant arts scene, and annual Carnival, and the airport serves as a key access point for visitors and relief workers traveling to the southern coast.
