What happened
Winair (Windward Islands Airways International NV) is a government-owned airline based at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) in Sint Maarten. It operates a fleet of nine aircraft: four ATR 42-500s (48 seats) and five DHC-6-300 Twin Otters (19 seats). Key routes include the challenging hop to St. Barts (SBH) and the route to Saba (SAB), which features the world's shortest commercial runway. The airline has a flawless safety record since 1961 and is regulated by Sint Maarten's DCASM rather than EASA. Baggage limits are strictly enforced due to small aircraft sizes
