New York.– AMR Corp’s American Airlines and Delta Air Lines canceled flights to and from Haiti following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday that may have killed thousands of people.

Delta, the world’s largest airline, canceled its flight from New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport to Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital, company spokesman Anthony Black said.

American Airlines flew its last flight from Haiti to Miami Tuesday night around 6:45 p.m., spokesman Tim Smith said. Both carriers said they were uncertain when flights to Haiti would resume.

JetBlue Airways Corp said it would waive change fees and fare differences to allow customers to rebook their travel to the Dominican Republic.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd’s private destination in Labadee, Haiti, reported no visible damage, but a spokeswoman said the company is seeking more information. No Royal Caribbean ships are set to call on Labadee on Wednesday. The company’s Independence of the Seas cruise ship is scheduled to go to Haiti Friday.

Carnival Corp the world’s largest cruise operator, said it does not have any cruise ships scheduled to stop in Haiti and added there were no changes to its schedule.

Probably for the best so there is more airport usage for international aid arrivals.

Many of the survivors will probably be relocated. Tourism can wait. Most of the structures that didn't fall down in P au P will probably be torn down and it will be awhile before it is a city of 3 million again. This will probably have a beneficial effect in the long term for the entire country.

Fellow humanitarians,

I had just returned from Haiti this past Holidays and I am going back to Haiti soon via Dominican Republic to help if I am not called to be deployed there. I wanted to know if there will be others on here and on EverythingHaitian.com who will be doing the same. People, allow me to advise you all... while we may have in mind to give out donations, but also be very careful and weary of scams. Please, any kind of donation or to which ever legit foundation you use is fine. Just make sure it is a legitimate foundation and not scams out to profit from the tragedy. http://www.dominicantoday.com/dr/....-IF-YOU-CAN-Your-Donations-Please Anything any of you can do at all is already greatly appreciated and kinds words also are very encouraging!!!

P.S: YeleHaiti is a great foundation which I donate $150 from my Army paycheck each month to because I have seen first hand and directly their work in Haiti.
