Due to increasing world oil prices, Winair will reintroduce fuel surcharge on all tickets sold for travel commencing April 10, 2017.
These fuel charges are 3.30 US$ or 6.00 NAF per segment.
March 01, 2016 Winair had eliminated all fuel surcharges as the world oil costs had decreased at that time.
We will continue to monitor world fuel prices and adjust these surcharges accordingly.

I hate fees, but they could add ten times as much and I’d still prefer them to LIAT.

If the following is true, something is wrong, that Airline is in the rip off game ripping off the people who fly on their aircrafts.
In the trailing week, the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) fell 2.2%, while the S&P 500 Index (SPY) (IVV) (VNN) (SPX-INDEX) fell 1.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) (DJIA-INDEX) fell 1.7%, and the technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite (COMP-INDEX) (QQQ) fell 1% during the same period. Crude oil is an important driver of energy ETFs. It can also impact broader markets.
According to an OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) report, OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) commercial crude oil stockpiles reached 3.0 billion barrels in February 2016. In the month, US oil prices fell below the $30 level due to rising oil inventories and production.

Oil prices have been weak lately because of concerns about rising US oil production. The US oil rig count rose by 21 units to 652 in the week ended March 24, 2017. Rising rigs means higher oil production, which could have a negative impact on crude oil prices.
On March 27, 2017, active oil futures were trading at a discount of $2.18 to 12-month forward futures contracts, compared to $1.93 on March 24, 2017. The rise in the futures spread could point to investor concern about the crude oil demand-supply balance.
Even if everything you say is true — and it usually isn’t — there could be other factors at play, like some regulatory or distribution change in SXM or something. Besides, it’s less than $9 E.C., hardly “ripping off the people” compared with U.S. airlines charging people $25 U.S. just to check a bag.
Steve whereas they blame the increase in the fees on rising cost of oil, that proves they are simply extracting money from the public for unscrupulous gain!
The fat is oil price is at it lowest in more than a decade. You do not have to look very far to find proof of that. Take a look at the now failed, and bankrupt State of Venezuela where their economy is completely dependent on the sale of oil.
The Venezuelans still export oil, however, we see staving, and out of work people in Venezuela demonstrating and getting brutalized by both the military, and police! The comments I wrote is not “as I say” it is a documented fact!
You see this line here Steve: ” U.S. airlines charging people $25 U.S. just to check a bag.” You need to add that is after what they are allow you to take aboard, and if memory serves me correctly, I was subjected to that due to the extra luggage I had; along with two overhead carryon okay!
