Winair secured a three‑year contract to operate the Sint Maarten‑Montserrat route until 2029, with annual reviews to adjust operational and administrative matters, as part of the island government’s three‑year access strategy to maintain connectivity for residents, tourists, businesses and official travel.
Schedules have not yet been published and seats will be sold through Winair’s own sales channels; the 2024 tender required STOL‑capable aircraft compatible with John A. Osborne’s restrictions, and the government said Winair would include Montserrat in its interline agreements with partners in the United States, the United Kingdom and the region. Winair previously cancelled its flights in December 2022 after failing to meet safety assessments required by ASSI, the British body overseeing aviation in the overseas territories, and the route will operate from Sint Maarten’s Princess Juliana Airport, which offers connections to the United States, Canada, Europe and a broad intra‑Caribbean network.
