Effective August 31 the National Flag Carrier of St. Maarten WINAIR will offer daily service from St. Maarten to Canefield to St. Maarten using twin engine otters.

Due to closure and ongoing repairs at Melville Hall Airport this service will provide much needed connectivity to our customers in Dominica and allow WINAIR to repatriate Dominicans who need to get home.

WINAIR has planned this service for 10 days and it is our hope that access to Dominica’s main Douglas Charles airport can be repaired and airport will be operational soon allowing return of service with ATR aircraft with our partner Air Antilles.

Please contact our handling agents at Whitchurch Travel agency in Dominica for assistance and further scheduling information.

It is our hope that by providing this service is a first step in restoration of normalcy to the people of Dominica, the thoughts and prayers of your sister nation St.Maarten are with you all in Dominica.

    Excellent response. It would be good if we could keep that service permanently. Dominica’s terrain and susceptibility to natural disasters ( do not forget tremors!) and the distance from the capital to Melville Hall make it necessary for us to keep Canefield operational, at least until we have a proper international jet port.
