AIRPORT--Local airline Winair announced on Tuesday that it will be adding more capacity for the upcoming Christmas season. From December 1, 2018, to January 15, 2019, its service to Curaçao on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays will be upgraded from 48 to 72 seats. Aruba services on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays will also be upgraded to the new Super ATR-72, as well as the Bonaire service on Sundays.
Winair plans to also increase services St. Maarten-Santo Domingo-St. Maarten to daily flights with the Super ATR-72. Dominica service will increase from four to five flights per week.
“Customer feedback and the seasonal travel demands indicated that seat inventory remained insufficient. By utilising the larger and new Super ATR-72 aircraft, the company will be capable to increase its capacity by 50 per cent four days a week. With these enhancements we will be able to accommodate our customers’ needs,” according to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Michael Cleaver.
