16/09/2017 07:46:14

The Haitian Haitian-based company, Sunrise Airways, has joined the ongoing post-IRMA recovery efforts in St. Maarten and St. Martin. The humanitarian relief flight was organized in conjunction with Dutch Special Forces, the Republic of India, and local officials in St. Maarten/St. Martin to rescue more than 100 Indian nationals stranded by the storm. In an extended gesture of goodwill, Sunrise Airways further opened the flight to wives and children of St. Maarten/St. Martin police officers and other first responders.

"This type of humanitarian effort embodies the whole notion of what our 'One Caribbea' mantra is all about," declared Philippe Bayard, President of Sunrise Airways, adding "We are proud to stand in solidarity with our Caribbean brothers and sisters in St. Martin, and elsewhere in Irma’s path, during this very trying time of need."

Note that the Haitian community of Saint-Martin (French side of the island) with more than 9,000 members, represents more than 12% of the population 22116 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22116-haiti-news-zapping.html
