First Flying bids farewell to Islander, welcomes Twin Otter

First Flying introduced the 19-seat Viking Air DHC-6-400 Twin Otter on the Okinawa/Naha – Aguni route. The newly-delivered aircraft replaced the nine-seat Pilatus Britten-Norman BN-2B-20 Islander, which operated its last revenue flight on July 31st, on their three-times-daily 25-minute hop connecting Naha and the remote island. This leaves Kagoshima [KOJ/RJFK]-based New Japan Aviation  as the last remaining airline flying the Islander in Japan.
