"I would like to assure and reiterate to our customers out there that Winair has no plans to cease operation next year in Antigua and Barbuda and even Montserrat as we recognize the level of service that we provide which we know are urgently needed . Therefore, any attempts to instill the belief that Winair will be ceasing to operate after March 2010 should be deemed as malicious and deliberate attempt at creating confusion," Hodge said.
He noted that the rumors are being peddled by individuals who are bent on distracting customers and the public to the enormous achievements and growth of the airline while noting that it is a means t reducing Winiar's rapidly growing revenues in Antigua and Barbuda and Montserrat. "We will not be distracted by the actions of a few as we are confident that the general public is fully aware of the enormous work being done," Hodge said.
The Winair MD stressed that his company remains committed and dedicated to the people and governments of Antigua and Barbuda and Montserrat noting that su8nintersupted services will continue as long as thee is a need for the airline.
"We intend to continue operating here (Antigua and Barbuda) and in Montserrat until our services are no longer needed for the essential services by the Antigua and Montserrat Government. Therefore, please be advised that anything contrary to this should be seen as a deliberate attempt to create undue fear and confusion," he declared.

He further added that a number of new and exciting initiatives are being debated currently by management with a view of continuing to lift the service and quality of the airline to its various destinations for 2010.
"Winair has been around for some 48 years and therefore we want to assure the public of my company's continue trust and commitment in continuing tom prove safe and reliable air transport thus I warn those detractors to seize their baseless mission of attempting to ruin the impeccable record and image of Winair as it will not work," Hodge declared.
