Halisa Air

Halisa Air was a Haitian passenger charter airline associated with Haitian Aviation Line SA. The carrier was founded in April 1994 by Frantz Cheron and operated under the Halisa Air brand during the 1990s. Reference material describes the airline as operational from 1991 to 1998, although that range predates the stated April 1994 founding date; the available account does not explain the discrepancy. The airline's principal reported route connected Port-au-Prince, Haiti, through Toussaint Louverture International Airport, with Miami International Airport in the United States. This route reflected the importance of the Haiti–South Florida travel corridor for passenger movement, diaspora traffic, and commercial links, although the available sources do not provide passenger volumes, schedules, financial results, or a detailed network map. Halisa Air is characterized as a passenger charter operator rather than a large scheduled network carrier. Its aircraft were leased, indicating an operating model based on temporary or externally financed access to flight equipment rather than ownership of a substantial fleet. Reported fleet records include two Boeing 727 aircraft, one Boeing 737-200-series aircraft, and registrations associated with those airframes. The airline used the IATA designator WD, the ICAO code HBC, and the call sign Halisa. The surviving fleet information suggests that it used narrow-body jet equipment suitable for medium-range Caribbean and North American services, but the sources do not establish how many aircraft were simultaneously active or which aircraft operated specific flights. Halisa Air's precise cessation date is unclear. The reference material states that it was operational through 1998 while separately noting that it is unclear when flying stopped. There is no reliable evidence in the supplied material of a continuing operation, successor brand, parent group, public listing, or current website. It is therefore best treated as a defunct Haitian airline with a historically limited, charter-oriented presence on the Port-au-Prince–Miami market.

Halisa Air was a Haitian airline trading as Haitian Aviation Line SA. The available historical account identifies Frantz Cheron as its founder and gives April 1994 as the founding date. A separate summary of the airline's operating history places its activity between 1991 and 1998, creating an unresolved chronology because the reported operating period begins before the stated incorporation or founding date. The sources do not clarify whether the earlier date refers to a predecessor, an initial operating phase, a different legal formation, or an editorial inconsistency. The airline's reported base of activity was Haiti, with its principal international connection running between Port-au-Prince's Toussaint Louverture International Airport and Miami International Airport. Halisa Air was described as a passenger charter operator. This indicates that its business centered on carrying passengers through charter or limited-service arrangements rather than maintaining the broad scheduled network associated with major international airlines. The Port-au-Prince–Miami focus placed the airline on an important cross-border route linking Haiti with South Florida, but the available material does not document the frequency of flights, charter customers, ticketing arrangements, or any additional destinations. Halisa Air operated with leased aircraft. The reported fleet consisted of two Boeing 727-224F aircraft, one Boeing 727-251, and one Boeing 737-2L9. The aircraft registrations listed in the reference material were N6673Z, N260US, and N171PL, with N6673Z associated with one of the Boeing 727 aircraft. The source does not establish whether all four airframes were operated concurrently, and it does not provide lease terms, lessors, delivery dates, or retirement dates. The use of Boeing 727 and 737 narrow-body jets was consistent with medium-range passenger operations in the Caribbean and the United States, although the 727-224F designation is a freighter-derived or cargo-associated variant designation and the available account does not explain its passenger configuration or actual deployment. Halisa Air used the IATA code WD, the ICAO code HBC, and the radio call sign Halisa. These identifiers distinguish it from other airlines and support its identification in historical aviation records. No information in the supplied sources establishes a parent airline, corporate group, publicly traded status, government ownership, or continuing successor operation. The end of the airline's flying activity is not precisely documented. The historical reference treats Halisa Air as an airline that operated during the 1990s and reports activity through 1998, while also stating that the exact date on which it stopped flying is unclear. In the absence of evidence for operations after that period, Halisa Air is classified as defunct. Its surviving profile is that of a small Haitian charter carrier whose principal commercial identity was tied to the Port-au-Prince–Miami passenger market.

• Airline transportation

  Passenger charter services

  Halisa Air operated as a passenger charter carrier based in Haiti. Its documented principal service connected Port-au-Prince's Toussaint Louverture International Airport with Miami International Airport. The available sources do not specify whether services were sold on a scheduled basis, arranged for particular charter clients, or supplemented by other destinations.

• Aircraft fleet

  Boeing 727 fleet operations

  The reported fleet included Boeing 727 aircraft, specifically two Boeing 727-224F airframes and one Boeing 727-251. These aircraft were leased rather than owned, according to the available reference. The sources do not establish their simultaneous operating status or detailed passenger configurations.

• Aircraft fleet

  Boeing 737-200-series fleet operations

  Halisa Air also reportedly leased one Boeing 737-2L9, registered as N171PL. The available material does not identify the aircraft's service dates, route assignments, or configuration, but places it within the carrier's historical fleet.
