Operating hoursDaylight operations only — no runway edge lighting or precision approach aids for night ops (approaches via GPS/VOR/NDB only); typically active roughly 06:00-18:00 local. No formally published curfew, but PPR is strongly advised for non-scheduled/charter flights given the ongoing security situation and irregular slot/handling availability.
TerminalsSingle small terminal building handling combined domestic and international traffic; ground (walk-out) boarding only, no jet bridges; limited apron and gate capacity typical of a regional gateway that has absorbed overflow demand from Port-au-Prince.

Airport contact
Cap-Haïtien has become Haiti's critical northern air gateway and de facto primary functioning international airport amid repeated gang-driven closures of Port-au-Prince's Toussaint Louverture; as of mid-2026 the FAA's extended US-carrier restriction on Port-au-Prince (through September 2026) does not apply to CAP, with Sunrise Airways and charter/scheduled operator IBC Air running the current US links and American Airlines set to become the first major US carrier to resume service (Miami-CAP from November 1, 2026).
