On Friday, January 16, Louis Mussington, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Air Antilles, sent a letter to the company's employees. In it, he informed them of his decision to file for bankruptcy with the Pointe-à-Pitre Commercial Court. "Despite all the steps taken and the considerable efforts made by the teams, the company's financial situation no longer allows it to meet its commitments," wrote Mussington, who is also president of the Territorial Collectivity of Saint Martin.
After praising the "professionalism and solidarity" of the employees, Louis Mussington added: "The early interruption of our operations came following the suspension of the Air Operator Certificate on December 8, 2025, and then the Air Transport License on December 9, 2025, in the middle of the high season. These decisions led to an immediate halt in activity, abruptly depriving the company of its revenue and making it impossible to continue discussions with investors who were essential to the company's continuity."
The elected representative goes on to write: "I fully appreciate the concern and questions that this announcement will raise. I would like to assure you that this decision in no way calls into question the value of your work, your commitment, or your attachment to Air Antilles. You have carried this company with seriousness and dignity to the very end. Together with the shareholders and management teams, I remain fully committed to supporting this process with humanity and responsibility, with a constant focus on protecting the interests of employees as best as possible and examining all possible options for the future."
The bell seems to have already tolled for Air Antilles.
