The Valley, Anguilla, Monday, May 21st, 2007  ---The Government of Anguilla would like to thank WINAIR for reaching agreement on arrangements to continue service into Anguilla beyond the published termination date of May 15th, 2007.  This “air bridge” service from the St. Maarten hub at Princess Juliana Airport is vital to the Anguilla’s tourism industry as well as Anguillian residents traveling on to other destinations particularly in the Caribbean.

A delegation of officials from the Government of Anguilla led by the Honourable Victor F. Banks, Minister of Finance and Tourism had traveled to St. Maarten to meet with the WINAIR management team comprising Edwin Hodge, Managing Director; Claudio Buncamper, Director of Marketing Sales and Customer Service; and Denico Richardson, Senior Analyst on May 5th, 2007 to discuss the future of the WINAIR service to Anguilla. The meeting was extremely cordial and the existence of goodwill on both sides allowed for positive action towards finding a mutually beneficial solution to this matter.
