Tradewind Aviation

Tradewind Aviation, an American airline, has operated since 2001 with the core belief that every flight merits the highest quality aircraft, crew, and service. The airline is headquartered at Waterbury-Oxford Airport (OXC) in Oxford, Connecticut, with additional operational bases at Westchester County Airport (HPN) in New York, Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (SJU) in Puerto Rico, and Witham Field (SUA) in Stuart, Florida. Tradewind Aviation provides private and scheduled services across the Northeast, Southeast, and Caribbean, alongside aircraft management services. The air charter company is particularly recognised for its Westchester to Nantucket summer ticket books and its scheduled service connecting Puerto Rico and St. Barths.

The Tradewind-operated fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft provides the highest standard in safety and comfort. Passengers choose the versatile Pilatus PC-12 for short-range trips and smaller airports. It's the market leader in regional air mobility, servicing luxury destinations such as Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, St Barths, Virgin Gorda, and Anguilla.

Scheduled flights offer the comfort and convenience of a private charter for the cost of a single seat. In the US, scheduled flights are operated from the New York area to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Flights depart from private FBO terminals, providing efficient and seamless travel to Tradewind guests’ destinations. In the Caribbean, scheduled flights are operated between San Juan, St Barths, Anguilla, Antigua, Virgin Gorda, and St Thomas.

Private service allows guests to have control over their travel experience and fly on their own time. On March 1, 2022, Tradewind Aviation, in partnership with Pilatus Aircraft, announced that it would take delivery of 20 Pilatus PC-12 NGX aircraft between the third quarter of 2022 and 2027, at a rate of four aircraft per year. The fleet allows guests to land at airports closer to their final destination, allowing them to maximise time doing what they love. The client service team is happy to assist with every step of the journey, including custom catering, ground transportation, and more. The ultimate in comfort, reliability, and safety, the Pilatus PC-12 features a pressurised and air-conditioned cabin with equal and ample room for 8 passengers. On scheduled routes, the Pilatus is configured with 8 forward-facing seats, which allows for more room for luggage. The high-quality service is operated in an executive-configured aircraft featuring a four-person club plus two rows of forward-facing seats and a fully enclosed lavatory.

Tradewind has committed to all flights meeting a 4AIR Level 1 Carbon Neutral rating from 2022 and beyond. By flying 100% carbon neutral, Tradewind pledges to reduce carbon emissions and the environmental impact of air travel. All Tradewind flights fund greenhouse gas and emissions-reducing projects to support a sustainable future.
