Tortug'Air S.A. was a domestic airline in Haiti, and served as Haiti’s national flag carrier. The airline was founded in March 2003, and was based in Port-au-Prince. 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 is a part of Haiti’s transportation infrastructure. Despite the country’s small size, the road network is in poor condition. Thus, air transportation takes on an oversized importance for Haiti. Tortug’ Air serves that need with its domestic schedule. For example, its short flight from Port-au-Prince to Jacmel could be driven instead; but it would take approximately four hours by road. It is only 40 minutes by air.
Tortug’ Air served six Haitian and three international destinations. It also has charter permits for most Caribbean islands. Flights to Les Cayes were suspended in early 2012.
