Sunrise Airways service and expansion

Overview

Sunrise Airways has faced both regulatory scrutiny and regional expansion efforts. In late July 2026, the Haitian government initiated investigations into the airline following passenger complaints regarding flight delays, missing or damaged luggage, and poor onboard conditions, such as a lack of air-conditioning. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé ordered several transport and aviation authorities to investigate these service shortcomings.

By late August 2026, the airline focused on regional growth by opening new corporate offices in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Founder Philippe Bayard stated the new facility is part of a ‘One Caribbean’ concept intended to strengthen connectivity across the Caribbean and the Americas, including destinations such as Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Colombia.
