The Prime Minister of St. Maarten the Honorable Sarah Wescot-Williams, as Shareholder Representative of Winair, cut the ribbon on the local airline’s new St. Maarten to Santo Domingo at a Ceremony at the Airport on Monday.
At the ceremony the Prime Minister thanked the Supervisory Board, Management and Winair staff in making this achievement, and those of the last few days in adding the Curacao route, a possibility. "Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Board, Management and Employees of Winair and all others who today are making it possible that we can celebrate this very special occasion.
Over the past few years I know that there have been issues at Winair but I have come to realize that due to the dedication of the Board, Management and Staff there has always been a speedy resolution to those issues. I therefore know that any question on whether or not this airline will be moved forward has already been answered in the affirmative. I know a lot of hard work went in to what we have been celebrating and so, on behalf of the Government of St. Maarten I truly would like to again thank all of you, thank you for the risks you have taken and determining they are worth taking," commented the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister concluded by expressing her hope that the airline will grow and expand in the future and that it will remain to be a truly regional St. Maarten airline. "I hope that you will continue in this fashion to represent St. Maarten, Winair and the people of this country. Congratulations to all of you and I hope to see this expansion continue and I urge all of you to work together in order to make this happen. May God continue to bless this airline, this country and everyone who is a part of this endeavor," concluded the PM.
