Maritime Air Charter Limited Aircraft
BN-2A-21 Britten-Norman Islander

Islander interior The oversize tires on this twin engine piston aircraft make landing at off-airport locations like Sable Island a breeze. No runway? No problem! Not only will it carry a full load into a short strip, but it does it with room to spare. It may not be as speedy as the Navajo or King Air, but this tough little workhorse does what it was designed to do, and does it well.
