We have scheduled the same route for summer. If demand continues, we may add a third flight in summer,” said van de Velde. Winair plans to operate flights between these destinations twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Van de Velde noted that Saint Lucia was highlighted as a desirable route during consultations. “When I arrived in Sint Maarten one and a half years ago, we had two 50-seat aircraft.

The first destination I heard was Saint Lucia. There are quite a number of people from Saint Lucia living in Sint Maarten and I know from personal experience trying to get here, it’s impossible,” van de Velde stated. He believes this new service will benefit Saint Lucians residing in different countries...
