The Islander is a perfect fit for Xen’s mission to target everyday commuters, government and international business operators at a competitive price. It will be the first commuter BN2T-4S in Guyana.

Britten-Norman will scale manufacturing operations in the UK up to eight aircraft a year in phase one, thanks to Beechlands. Manufacturing will be focused primarily on the unleaded piston version of the Islander.

The unleaded fuel modification for the BN2B-26 piston engine Islander is a step towards sustainability, and the FAA's decision to phase out leaded AvGas has underlined the importance of transitioning to unleaded fuels.
