While it is a very positive step that Delta Airlines will offer flights to Haiti; more importantly is to get Delta to build a new airport for the country.

That is what airlines do when you lobby them. But you have to have strong reps to approach Delta so that they can build the airport.

American Airlines has been in haiti for decades and have not built a new airport for Haiti.

That is because the Haitian government is very weak and do not have the diplomacy or do not know how to approach the airlines.
