Caribbean sub-regional airline Winair will recommence scheduled flights between St. Maarten and St. Kitts & Nevis on October 29, 2012. [Winair also added flights from St. Maarten to Dominica in July.] That announcement was made by St. Kitts & Nevis minister of tourism & international transport, Ricky Skerritt, following a confirmation visit last Thursday of a three-man delegation from Winair.

The delegation was headed by Michael Cleaver, president of Winair. Skerritt said Winair’s 19-seat, twin engine aircraft will conveniently connect St. Kitts with key incoming international flights to St. Maarten from Europe and North America, and will reintroduce a domestic air service between Nevis and St. Kitts. “I am particularly excited that Winair will be providing travellers with a daily airlift option between St. Kitts and Nevis, a route which is presently served only by sea ferries and small private charter aircraft,” Skerritt said.

The new service will depart St. Maarten at 17:55 daily for St. Kitts and overnight in Nevis nightly after arriving from St. Kitts at 18:55 pm. The flight will start its daily morning journey back to St. Maarten at 09:00 from Nevis and 09:35from St. Kitts, arriving in St. Maarten at 10:05. Winair’s president Michael Cleaver said, “Winair is a leaner and better airline after our recent reorganization and we are confident that our reliability is top quality. We are happy to be reintroducing a St. Kitts service after a gap of more than three years.” For original article, see http://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/winair-to-re-launch-flights-to-st.-kitts-nevis/ For news about Dominica flights (and photo), see http://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/general/winair-announces-new-options-to-fly-to-dominica/
