WINAIR AND CONTOUR AIRLINES PARTNER TO BOOST SAN JUAN ACCESS

Philipsburg, St. Maarten, May 11, 2026 - Windward Islands Airways International (Winair) is pleased to announce the launch of a new interline partnership with U.S.-based Contour Airlines. This collaboration marks another step in Winair’s ongoing strategy to expand its connectivity and enhance travel options for passengers across its regional network.

Through this agreement, Contour Airlines will be able to offer its customers seamless itineraries that include Winair-operated flights, further strengthening St. Maarten’s role as a key regional hub in the Caribbean.

The addition of Contour Airlines to Winair’s growing portfolio of interline partners reflects the airline’s commitment to building stronger global connections and improving accessibility to and from the Caribbean.

“This partnership represents another important milestone in expanding our network reach,” says Winair’s CEO, Hans van de Velde. “By collaborating with Contour Airlines, we are making it easier for travelers to connect through St. Maarten and explore more destinations within our region.”

“We are excited for our new partnership with Winair,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines. “Contour passengers will now have the ability to connect onto Winair’s impressive network beyond St. Maarten throughout the Caribbean.”

As part of this partnership, travelers across Winair’s network will now have improved access to San Juan, Puerto Rico, via St. Maarten, with bookings available directly through Contour Airlines.

Contour Airlines, which recently commenced operations to Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), continues to grow its footprint in the Caribbean, offering passengers enhanced connectivity and convenient travel options.

Winair remains dedicated to strengthening its partnerships and expanding opportunities for seamless regional and international travel.
