Jacmel Airport was the sixth busiest airport in Haiti by passenger volume before the 2010 Haitian earthquake, near the city of Jacmel, on Haiti's south coast. The airport's timezone is GMT –5, and is in World Area Code region #238 (by the U.S. Department of Transportation). This airport is normally served by scheduled and charter airlines operating in the capital Port-au-Prince, and was opened in 2006 for travel to and from the capital and other destinations across the country. The airport was temporarily placed under the control of the Canadian Forces in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.〔Taber, Jane. ("Ottawa Expedites Haitian Adoptions As Troops Assess Damage In Jacmel" ), Globe and Mail, Toronto, 20 January 2010〕 It was one of two operational airports near the epicentre of the earthquake, the other being Toussaint Louverture International Airport, which was placed under the temporary control of the United States Air Force by the Haitian government. In March 2010, the Canadian Forces returned control to Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale. == Facilities == The airport was originally built to accommodate smaller commercial flight services, but no large aircraft.〔CBC News, ("Canadian Forces Head To Port Town Of Jacmel" ), 18 January 2010 (accessed 19 January 2010)〕 Prior to the January 2010 earthquake there was no air traffic control service at the airstrip, and its ramp area could only accommodate five aircraft at a time.〔Galloway, Gloria. ("Canada's big task in Haiti starts on small airstrip" ), Globe and Mail, Toronto, 19 January 2010.

Mark Peebles, ''1 February 2010'', Issue 5, Volume 55〕 On September 9, 2010, a new terminal building was inaugurated by Public Works, Transport and Communications Minister, M. Jacques Gabriel, as well as by the General Manager of the Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale, M. Lionel Isaac.
