Melissa Arrindell-Doncher, Minister of Tourism of St. Maarten, announced that the growing Haiti-based airline Sunrise Airways will begin new services to St. Maarten (SXM) at the end of June.

She stated that Sunrise's service will connect St. Maarten and Cuba due to the strong presence of the airline in this country where Sunrise serves Havana and Santiago de Cuba.

Sunrise will start serving St. Maarten at the end of June twice a week, with the objective of serving the destination four times a week when load factors meet established targets.
