Apparently, you've failed to consider the notion that there is a thriving Christian community in Haiti, who would likely be the ones requesting Bibles. And most countries have a Bible Society, which would be charged with distributing Bibles through whatever channels they have that still exist. I cannot say I'm 100% certain, but it's extremely unlikely that anyone is being pulled off humanitarian service to distribute Bibles nationally.
At this point, the airport is still backed up but land and sea routes are in use. Many Christian groups have long worked in Haiti and are using helicopters, ships and small planes to bypass the main airport traffic situation.
With regard to Scientology, I personally think that Travolta flight is mainly PR. Even in the best of times, Haitians can't afford Scientology.
