JetBlue to extend flight ban on a country after plane hit with gunfire

With Haiti rocked by ongoing gang fights and different militant groups trying to seize control of the government, several U.S.-based airlines recently witnessed the violence in the most direct way.

On Nov. 11 a Spirit Airlines (SAVE) plane flying into Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport from Fort Lauderdale was hit with gunfire while attempting to land.

I didn't know the airport was open.

I still don’t see the need to not fly to an entire country when it has at least 2 other airports that can receive international flights and those places don’t have a gang problem.

I wonder who chose to say "a country" and just make it clear by saying "Haiti" in that headline?
