Antoine-Simon International Airport
Antoine-Simon International Airport, given the code CYA, serves Les Cayes on Haiti's southern peninsula, named for a former Haitian president closely tied to the region who briefly led the country in the early twentieth century. The airport functions as a modest regional link for a part of Haiti prone to hurricanes and, in recent years, earthquakes, occasionally becoming a staging point for relief flights when disaster strikes the southern departments. Scheduled service tends to be limited and irregular compared with the capital's main airport, leaving CYA to handle a mix of domestic flights, humanitarian traffic, and small charter operations serving this agricultural coastal region.
