Fleet
Western Air (IATA: WU, ICAO: WST) is a regional airline based in the Bahamas, established in 2000. The carrier operates from its primary hub at Grand Bahama International Airport, serving regional routes across the Caribbean with scheduled and charter services.
The airline's network focuses on connecting regional destinations, leveraging its base in the Bahamas as a strategic gateway. Western Air serves both leisure and essential transport functions across island communities, with frequency and route patterns tailored to regional demand patterns.
The fleet comprises twin-engine turboprops-the Saab 340 and Fairchild Metro III-aircraft optimized for short-haul regional operations. These types offer the capacity and reliability required for inter-island connectivity and smaller airfield operations characteristic of Caribbean air transport.
