Good news for the people of Haiti: Spirit Airlines has resumed flights to Port-au-Prince – and as CEO Ben Baldanza put it, the carrier is ”thrilled to once again liberate Haiti from high fares.”

Somehow, I’m not sure that cheap flights are at the top of most Haitians’ “to-do” lists just now, but whatever.

In fairness to Spirit, they did dedicate staff and aircraft to relief efforts in the wake of the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. And, they want everyone to know their cheap flights between Ft. Lauderdale and the Haitian capital have resumed.

Of course, American Airlines got the jump on them – the legacy carrier resumed its flights two weeks ago. And, I’ve just heard from a Delta Air Lines spokesman about their plans for resuming flights, who said, “We hope to be able to announce a date shortly.”
