Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP)

Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) is the primary aviation gateway to Haiti, located in the Tabarre commune of Port-au-Prince. The airport complex consists of two main passenger buildings: the two-story International Terminal and the separate Guy Malary Terminal, which handles domestic regional flights. It serves as a vital infrastructure link, connecting the nation to major hubs in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. The International Terminal provides essential services across two levels, with check-in and arrivals on the lower floor and departure lounges and retail areas on the upper floor. Travelers can find several cafés offering local coffee and snacks, alongside shops selling traditional Haitian rum and handicrafts. While Wi-Fi is available, its reliability can be inconsistent, and passengers are advised to carry sufficient cash (USD or HTG) as banking and ATM services within the terminal are limited. Ground transportation at PAP is a critical consideration, and it is highly recommended to arrange secure, private transfers in advance rather than utilizing unverified local taxis. The domestic Guy Malary terminal is located approximately one mile from the main international building, requiring a short vehicle transfer. Due to the volatile regional security situation, flight schedules are subject to frequent changes, and travelers are strongly encouraged to confirm their flight status directly with the airline and arrive at least three hours before departure.
