As warmer weather sets in and travel plans begin to take shape, Sunrise Airways is positioning itself as a key link between Haiti and the United States. The airline recently celebrated its new direct route between Newark and Cap-Haïtien, starting June 1, with a reception in New York City. The gathering at Rebel Restaurant brought together community leaders and partners around a shared goal: making it easier for the Haitian Diaspora to reconnect with home while opening new opportunities for business and cultural exchange.
