Based on the source materials provided, here is the 2026 inventory for Haiti Aviation, following the standard format used for international air arms. According to the most recent data (2024), Haiti possesses almost no military aviation capability, as the nation continues to focus on the very early stages of re-establishing its armed forces following the assassination of the president in 2021.

Capabilities & Role
The Haitian Armed Forces (FAd'H) currently possess almost no military capability, and as of 2026, there is no reported independent air arm or active aircraft inventory. National security and law enforcement are primarily handled by the National Police, while the nascent Army is focused on providing disaster relief and border security.
Historical Context:
Historically, Haiti operated a small air component known as the Corps d'Aviation d'Haiti. In the early 1990s, this force maintained a modest inventory including Cessna O-2A aircraft for counter-insurgency (COIN) missions, C-47 Dakota and Twin Otter aircraft for transport, and several light trainers such as the SIAI-Marchetti SF-260TP and S.211. However, rotary-wing operations ceased in 1988 after the sale of its small helicopter fleet.
Current Status:
Haiti has no indigenous defense industry and no heavy military equipment. The country relies on international cooperation and has recently participated in US SOUTHCOM’s Tradewinds disaster-response exercises to improve its humanitarian assistance capacity. Due to persistent internal instability, the UN Security Council approved a multinational security support mission in 2023 to assist national forces in maintaining order.
Haiti Aviation
No regular military forces - small Coast Guard; the regular Haitian Armed Forces (FAdH) - Army, Navy, and Air Force - have been demobilized but still exist on paper until or unless they are constitutionally abolished
Note: Haiti's military disbanded in June 1995, but rebels have demanded its re-establishment. The 9,000 strong Haitian National Police maintains some paramilitary units and a Coast Guard; these units are considered to be larger than what is required, considering the much smaller militaries of some neighboring countries.
Capabilities
No active armed forceAs. On 1 June 2004, following a period of armed conflict, the United Nations established a multinational stabilisation mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). The mission has an authorised strength of up to 6,700 military
personnel and 2,066 civilian police. A National Police Force of some 2,000 pers
