SABA — The Saba Tourist Bureau is pleased with the news that Windward Islands Airways International Winair will increase its services to Saba per June 1, 2022. This added airlift is most welcome because the island highly depends on connectivity.

Currently, there are no flights to Saba on Wednesday and Thursday, but per June 1, this will change, and there will be flights 7 days a week, which will contribute to Saba’s connectivity. These flights are loaded in the system until August 31, 2022. The number of flights to St. Eustatius will also increase.

The days of operations in the months of September and October will be: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The flight frequency will be increased if there is sufficient demand for additional flights. Effective October 31, 2022, twice daily flights for the season will be scheduled. Winair will monitor the winter season whether a 3 flights per day operation is needed.
