PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Haiti says it will rename an airport in the north of the country in honour of the former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez who died of cancer in March. A government spokesman said that the Cap-Haitien International Airport will now be called the Hugo Chavez International Airport. The airport’s 17,500-foot runway was repaved in October with a loan from the Venezuelan government and had opened up the industrial park in the north.
