And Puerto Rico is about an hours flight time from Haiti.

You couldmarshal supplies at the airport and fly them in the Haiti no problem.

One hour by helicopter or fixed wing aircraft?

Guantanamo bay seems like it would be another good staging area for airlifting supplies in. Its even closer than PR.

That’s being done already. Aircraft are staging at SJU, PSE, BQN and NRR and ships at the Port of San Juan.

Except that (according to news reports) the only working airport in Haiti is already over capacity - even USAF has problems landing with the hords of private planes from everywere landing and taking off. There appears to be no coordinating authority with the relief efforts. Since there is no functioning Haitian government, no one can grant that authority.
