Managing Director of WINAIR, Edwin Hodge has rejected claims being made by CEO of Port Services Limited, Makeda Mikeal that he had sought to repossess the check-in counters which were on lease.
This, Hodge noted, is a continued deliberate attempt by Mikeal to tarnish the very reputable name of WINAIR. “She is aware that we (WINAIR) have done nothing wrong, thus her attempts to discredit the company are very unprofessional and unfortunate,” Hodge declared.
He pointed out that there were a number of reasons why the company terminated its contract, noting that one of the many reasons was the continued very unprofessional conduct of Mikeal and her company.
“WINAIR has been in operation for several years now and this is testimony to the continued faith and confidence that the public has entrusted in us and, therefore, we have a moral responsibility to ensure that we can deliver what is expected of us, thus we could no longer continue the relationship with Port Services Limited,” Hodge said.
Responding to further allegations that Port Services Limited and Winair has been disagreeing on a number of issues for over a year, Hodge said that it was a case where every time the company sought to urge Port Services Limited to improve their standards and code of operations it was met with great disdain and resentment from its CEO.
He pointed out that while they sought to appraise Port Services Limited about the continued complaints they were receiving as well as the correcting of various issues, no attempts were made to correct their shortcomings.
He pointed out that he and his management team are very confident that the new agent, Caribbean Airport Services, would do a much better job, thus ensuring all agents of the airline are managed and operated professionally.
