Comment by @david on Toussaint Louverture International Airport, Haiti:

Since traffic is heavy and landing slots are needed for larger aircraft that can carry more cargo and personnel, AOPA recommends that instead of volunteering to fly down supplies, small-aircraft owner/pilots donate what the flight would have cost them:
