Now they've shut down Haiti airspace, they don't have room for any more airplanes and not enough fuel for the ones that are already there.
Well this is not exactly the case. There are many international/military airfields within 500 miles such Cuba (Havana, Guantanamo), Miami, Bahama's, Turks and Caicos islands, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico.
Getting aircraft in and out in a shuttle system should be easily setup to get international NGOs/Aid into Port-au-Prince.
I have just watched the 10pm BBC news and there are British SAR teams sitting at the airport in the Dominican Republic - they have been there for the last 24 hours.
This situation appears to have started after the US FAA closed the airspace over Haiti at the request of the Haitian Government, even though the Haitian Government is non existent and the US military have 'secured' the airfield.
