I love a good start-up airline, whether we're talking about Baltia, Global Ghana Airlines, or Air Belgium. Some start-up airlines are clearly legitimate and stand a good chance or survival. Some start-up airlines are legitimate but have no chance of survival. And then some start-up "airlines" seem to just be 12 year olds having fun…

It's all legit! The bonus for you is that now that you're based in Miami, not only can you review this no-doubt brilliant first class to Santorini... er... Haiti, but you are also apparently really close to Banjul in The Gambia. Maybe they have a lounge there you could review for us if you get bored one day? Thanks in advance.
Head office in Lagos
Port au Prince looks like santorini
Amazing how people Are so stupid they can set up a website without proper research
Can you imagine British airways advertising with a picture of a TWA 747?
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Unlikely they would have their own airline, especially with a wide bodied
Payment via bank transfer only to an anonymous account in Nigeria
Also most links on the site don't work and just refresh the homepage. The whole thing is VERY suspicious....
I went along with the booking pattern to see what it was like. Near the end it pulls up a seat map. It looks like first and business are the same. It also says Row 1-2 Nonsmoking, Row 3 Smoking. That shows it is a scam right there. Smoking isn't legal on planes anymore.

I wouldn't run a scam if I was in US... also I wouldn't put my credit cad in a site without an SSL certificate. Also, would love to hear comments from an Eastern rep.
How do people like this (this isn't meant to be racist, but include all other such shady ventures) even get the funds to acquire a plane?!
Based on Tomas' domain registry info above, I found the guy on Facebook, he seems to be some sort of graphic designer for bars and a local councilman in Miami, and is regularly posting flyers for his 'airline'.
His most recent flyer has an updated Easter 767 in the background with the latest livery, and advertises two free checked bags of 50lbs and a free carry on up to 30lbs. Oh and free food. Won't let me copy a link though.
I think this is just a really brazen (read: dumb) scam attempt. Would be interested to hear what the local councilman has to say about it, Alix Desulme, who is by my quick google research, a real person.
I love that the "Why Air Ayiti?" Service, Safety & Standard statements are plagiarized from Drukair https://www.drukair.com.bt/
It's official.
Nigerian prince is starting an airline.
@Lucky since you have so many credit cards you don't use. Do us a favor and try book this please. I want to see your review.
First, Haiti is not rated category 1 by the FAA hence no Haitian carrier including the truly legit one there, Sunshine Airways, can operate to the U.S. Second, even if this Air Ayiti thing is legit, the current version of Eastern Air Lines will be operating these flights so that is their "go-around." However this guy has posted pictures in years past on his site of what appeared to be Haitian flight attendants who were really black American flight attendants working on Delta. So all is really suspect here for sure!
Their legal statement is all plagiarized from DrukAir, AirChina, EvaAir, Bangkok Air, and others!
Oh my god... So funny! A simple copy and paste into any plagiarism checker website will tell you all!
Well I've never been to Haiti a day in my life, I do look forward to traveling on an airplane in the near future. 🙂
Whoever that is that been so negative about anything towards Haiti...please give ayiti a chance finally. Call the organization meet with them ask them questions before posting this...
Oh Lord

I've been to Haiti several times and I've never seen an Ayiti Airlines plane at the airport in Port-au-Prince. Nor have I seen one at MIA. I have seen the Sunshine Airlines plane at the terminal in Port-au-Prince and there's no way I'm getting on that plane. It looks like one of the abandoned cars you see on the side of the interstate.

I'm Haitian, and I've never heard of this airline. But I'll tell you, whomever is behind this plan is making a very smart move. Because of all the chaos in Haiti right now, many of the big players are pulling out. Many parents are sending their kids to Haiti for the summer, so this arrives just in time before the rush. If it works, they will be banking.
Looking forward to your first class review on the inaugural flight from Haiti which looks suspiciously like Greece to Queb... Montreal.
Honestly just book it, it's a small investment
in content for the blog and if you are scared about having your C/C details stolen use a service like privacy.com
The photo for Montréal is the Chateau Frontenac Hotel in Québec City.
Wouldn't Haitian and Quebecois pax want to see this site in French? Total joke.
This is absurd the picture looks like an arab countries definitely not Haiti. Can Haitian government do anything good for the country that would raise the pride and benefit the citizens? Do they have any conscious? I wonder how the government of Haiti sleep at night without thinking of a country they call home and welfare of the people? It feels like we Haitians are living in exile with no place to call home, but embarrassing others that has been blessed us. It saddens me to see Haiti, our beautiful country have ruined by the hand of greedy government caused many of us to be homeless and shattered our dreams for country. Thank you for sharing this article be blessed!
Omg. I just looked and they copy and pasted Drukair's website for the whole,

Eastern Airlines has the nerve to fly and make business in Venezuela in current times. They fly CCS-MIA and MAR-MIA route, and even direct CCS-JFK for a while, route still loaded on KIU but avail. seems dry. So maybe it's real as their risk tolerance is out of this world.
LOL Didn't noticed the Dynamic Airways main pic, totally appropriate for a post like this!
Air Haiti was a real airline with widebody aircraft. I mean, that’s what I’d call a C-46.
