One year before T&T gained independence from Great Britain, a little airline called Windward Islands Airways International NV (Winair) was founded in Sint Maarten. One year later, it spread its wings and began commercial operations. Now, 64 years later, the Caribbean’s oldest airline is spreading its wings once again and launching flights to Trinidad.
On February 1, the airline will begin nonstop twice-weekly scheduled service between Trinidad’s Piarco International Airport (POS) and Sint Maarten’s Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) using its 48-seater ATR 42-500s. Initially flying on Wednesdays and Sundays, the flights are timed to connect to eight Caribbean destinations as well as several international ones.
