[edit] Fleet and Services
- Windward Express operates two Britten-Norman Islanders, PJ-WEA & PJ-WEB. These aircraft have excellent STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capabilities which makes them ideal aircraft for operations into short runways such as St. Barths (Saint-Barthélemy), Baillif, Le Saints and Saba. With only about 1000 feet of usable runway, Saba's runway is the shortest commercial runway in the world!
The Islander has a seating capacity of 9 and a 600 mile range, therefore the whole chain of Caribbean islands is in its range. In the cargo conversion it carries 2000 pounds of cargo.
