It is a perfect day to be proudly introducing some team members of our exceptional new team of WINAIR flight attendants as we venture into a new era of aviation with our expanded fleet starting July 2023 of this year.
WINAIR is thrilled to welcome these talented individuals on board. In previous years, our smaller aircraft meant no need (or room) for flight attendants or in-flight services, but now times are changing. With WINAIR’s ATR aircraft soon soaring through the Caribbean skies, our dedicated flight attendants are ready and delighted to ensure your journey is pleasant, safe, and filled with a touch of warmth and assistance. Get ready to embark on a seamless voyage with our friendly and capable crew by your side.

FLIGHT ATTENDANTS' BEST TIP BY FAR FOR A BETTER FLIGHT
Flight attendants' best tip by far for a better flight, they collectively agree on is 'Mind Your Manners'.
People who actually speak to attendants when they ask them what they like to drink, hardly happens anymore. So, when a passenger says please and thank you or helps another passenger that is struggling with their luggage, the flight attendant is more likely to give them more or extra snacks 😉 Because honestly, it is the little things that can make all the difference!
note: aircraft in seen in background of these pictures are our DHC Twin Otter during the introduction week of the flight attendants. We expect our first ATR later in the month of July, 2023.
