Dear Reader
With the pressure on to get an answer when the PJIA's SXM Airport will be reopened for commercial flights, the Minister of Aviation Affairs, Mellissa Arrindell-Doncher, saw it fit to issue a
public statement that no official date has been announced by government for the resumption of commercial flights into St. Maarten.
The Minister stressed that travelers need to be careful with any information unless it comes from the official source, in other words, the government of St. Maarten. She said there is some confusion being created by, among other things, airlines announcing dates that they hope to resume service to the island.
