- HISTORY ASPECTS:
Founded in 1961, Windward Islands Airways International (WINAIR) has been connecting the Caribbean, one of the world’s most beautiful yet challenging flight regions, for more than half a century. The airline, based in Sint Maarten, has made a significant impact on Caribbean travel, particularly in the Lesser Antilles, by providing essential links between islands that are separated by water but share close cultural and economic ties. The de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter has been at the heart of WINAIR’s fleet, enabling operations in some of the most scenic and remote destinations in the Caribbean.
The DHC-6 Twin Otter, known for its Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capabilities, is the perfect workhorse for the Caribbean. With its twin-engine design, ability to land on short runways, and adaptability to various terrains and weather conditions, it was, and still is, the ideal aircraft for serving the unique needs of the Caribbean islands. WINAIR’s use of the DHC-6 Twin Otter is not just about transportation; it’s about connecting communities and enhancing the quality of life for people living in these remote and stunningly beautiful locations.
Today, as WINAIR continues to play a pivotal role in inter-island travel throughout the Caribbean, the DHC-6 Twin Otter remains a symbol of reliable and essential air service. It is the backbone of the airline’s operations, allowing passengers to explore the wonders of the Caribbean and delivering goods and services to these communities.
This 1:200 scale model beautifully captures the aircraft’s unique design, showcasing its short takeoff and landing capabilities. It is a perfect addition for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, allowing you to own a piece of Caribbean aviation history. Commemorate WINAIR’s essential role in connecting these picturesque islands with this exquisite replica, a true testament to the airline’s legacy in the Caribbean.
