Winair is the only airline flying there with Twin Otters.
The strip is approx. 200 m long with no possibility to extend. Before a rock
outcrop was blasted away the aircraft had to approach in a lefthand curve
too.
In reasonable weather there is no problem. The planes have approx. 25 m to
spare.
You can buy T-shirts on Saba: "I survived the Saba landing".

Herman
