Jhonson Napoleon has ignited a remarkable wave of support across the Haitian community after securing more than $35 million in pledges in less than 24 hours for an ambitious new initiative: the launch of Haiti Rise Air, a Haitian-owned national carrier.
More than just an aviation project, Haiti Rise Airline has quickly become a symbol of unity, pride, and economic independence for many Haitians both at home and across the Diaspora. The overwhelming response reflects a growing desire to see Haitians invest collectively in large-scale projects capable of strengthening the country’s future and global presence.
The initiative aims to acquire aircraft and establish reliable flight connections linking Haiti to major international destinations and Haitian communities abroad. According to information circulating around the campaign, part of the strategy includes acquiring planes from Spirit Air, the low-cost carrier that recently faced major financial difficulties and suspended operations. Supporters believe this approach could help accelerate the airline’s launch while creating new economic opportunities for Haiti.
In public statements, Jhonson Napoleon thanked everyone who has supported, questioned, promoted, and believed in the movement. He described the campaign as a historic moment demonstrating what Haitians can accomplish when united around a common vision. The momentum surrounding the project continues to grow as supporters encourage others to participate and spread awareness.
The official platform for the initiative, Haiti Rise Air, provides additional information for those interested in learning more or contributing to the project.
What began as an ambitious idea has rapidly evolved into a powerful movement, highlighting the determination of the Haitian community to build institutions rooted in self-reliance, national pride, and long-term progress.
