US Airways Alliance
On January 13, 2003, Winair and US Airways began a codeshare agreement allowing US Airways to sell tickets on Winair flights as US Airways flights. US Airways provides service to St. Maarten; both Winair and US Airways coordinate scheduling, ticketing, and baggage transfer.
From January 13 to June 30, 2003, US Airways customers could earn and redeem Dividend Miles on Winair flights. This program has been indefinitely suspended.
