With its iconic twin-engine design and unparalleled versatility, the Twin Otter has become synonymous with regional air travel, and Winair’s fleet of these dependable aircraft continues to serve as a lifeline for both locals and tourists alike.

A Legacy of Excellence:

The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter has earned its stripes as a legendary aircraft since its inception in the 1960s. Renowned for its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, rugged construction, and ability to operate in challenging environments, the Twin Otter quickly became the aircraft of choice for remote and rugged terrains worldwide. Its adaptability to various missions, including passenger transport, cargo hauling, medical evacuations, and aerial surveys, has cemented its status as one of the most versatile utility aircraft ever built.

Winair: Connecting the Caribbean:

In the heart of the Caribbean, Windward Islands Airways International (Winair) has been a pillar of regional aviation for over 60 years. Founded in 1961, Winair has played a vital role in connecting the diverse communities scattered across the Caribbean archipelago.

Key Features of the Twin Otter Winair:

The Twin Otter’s ability to operate from short, unprepared airstrips makes it the ideal choice for reaching remote destinations where conventional aircraft cannot venture. This capability is especially crucial in the Caribbean, where many islands have limited infrastructure.
