Management was forced to take a decision as a result of this situation and resorted to recalling its aircraft to St Maarten instead of its usual plan of action of leaving them on Sunday evening in Nevis and Antigua.
This course of action we would like to stress was critically important as management sort to ensure that extra inspections were executed before continuing our operations.
"As the company's Managing Director I would like to reiterate that Winair strongly values the safety and security of its passengers and therefore we always strive to ensure that safety and security remains our number one priority thus this course of action," Managing Director Edwin Hodge said.
The airline therefore would like to advise all passengers that because of the volcanic activity the schedule might be further affected in the coming days. As such, we beg for your usual patience.
As usual we are always very regretful of any inconveniences that passengers would have suffered and like to remind them that we stand committed and dedicated in our efforts of further enhancing the quality and service that we provide to you our customers.
"I thank you all for your cooperation and understanding and would like to urge you to continue using our service as we continue to provide reliable and affordable air service at the highest possible quality and service," Hodge stressed.
