Tortug'Air S.A. was a domestic airline in Haiti, and served as Haiti's national flag carrier.[1] The airline was founded in March 2003, and was based in Port-au-Prince.[2] According to the airline, more than 200 people were employed with the company. Tortug' Air went out of business sometime between mid-March to August, 2015.
Tortug’ Air was part of Haiti's transportation infrastructure. Despite the country's small size, the road network is in poor condition.[3] Thus, air transportation takes on an oversized importance for Haiti. Tortug’ Air served that need with its domestic schedule. For example, its 40 minute flight from Port-au-Prince to Jacmel could have been driven instead; but it would take approximately four hours by road.[4]
Tortug’ Air served six Haitian and three international destinations. It also had charter permits for most Caribbean islands. Flights to Les Cayes were suspended in early 2012.
