Sunrise Airways is an Haitian airline that provides scheduled passenger and charter flights.

History

Sunrise Airways was founded in 2010 and commenced flights on a charter basis January 1, 2011. In February 2011, the carrier began scheduled flights between Port-au-Prince and Jacmel in Haiti offering passenger, cargo and mail services. In July 2011, all scheduled flights stopped and the airline operated only on a charter basis. On December 20, 2012, it returned to scheduled service, offering two daily commercial flights between Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien with its BAE Jetstream 32 aircraft.[3]

In October 2014, Sunrise Airways started a regularly scheduled service to Santiago de Cuba, the company's first commercial flights to Cuba. In March 2016, a second route to Cuba (Camaguey) was opened.[4] In 2016 Sunrise was approved to by the United States Department of Transportation to offer flights between Haiti and multiple US destinations. From October 2016 through March 2017, it offered a seasonal service to Orlando International Airport (MCO).

In 2018 the airline acquired a Dominican operator, Servicios Aereos Geca. Servicios Aereos Geca operates BAe Jetstream 32, with plans to transition to narrow body jet aircraft under the Sunrise Airways livery.
