The Islander is one of the world’s most successful and enduring twin engine aircraft designs. The aircraft’s international acclaim is attributed to its exemplary proven performance as a high capacity, multi-role, high frequency, rough terrain, short take-off and landing workhorse.
With new aircraft, pre-owned and lease options available, the Islander delivers superior performance, twin engine safety and high operating reliability. With low through-life and direct operating costs, the Islander is the aircraft of choice for operators around the world.

Defender
Building on the pedigree of the Islander, the next generation Defender combines the simplicity of single pilot operation with the capability and feel of a small airliner.
Increased capacity and higher all up weight allow the aircraft to be equipped with a broad array of the latest sensors and technologies, whilst also increasing the maximum endurance of the aircraft.
