WIS, the flight took 13 minutes


JUANCHO YRAUSQUIN AIRPORT SABA

After passing through immigration, which was a little window outside the terminal, we went for a walk. By the time we got out, WIS was already taking off. Winair have very impressive turnaround times, usually taking about 5 minutes.

Quite a nice little island


The airport






We tried to walk up the hill but we only got a few hundred metres up before deciding just to stay at the airport. It’s very very steep! Our flight left at 1:30pm, we just stayed at the café at the airport. There was a flight at about 10am so before that was due in we walked to a spot to see it from.

It’s WIS again! Diving into RWY30.

Takeoff!


They don’t so much takeoff at Saba as they do fly off the end!

Departures area at Saba


We were told that unfortunately our flight has been delayed an hour due to an issue with the aircraft! We just walked down to the water and stayed there for a bit. Finally our plane arrived, and it was WIS yet again!
