The Federal Aviation Administration put in a temporary ban on all flights from the U.S. to Haiti after a Spirit Airlines jet on Tuesday, flying from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, sustained gunfire while trying to land in Port-au-Prince on Monday, injuring a flight attendant.

The FAA ban applies for 30 days and prohibits planes from flying under 10,000 feet over the island nation.

It all comes amid gang violence in Haiti’s capital.

The cruise line offers voyages to its private destination, Labadee, located on Haiti’s northern coast.
