The Westwind II gives Puerto Rico more range than the Westwind I from San Juan (SJU), seating 7 to 10 with 2,560 nautical miles of reach. It covers SJU to the full US East Coast, the Gulf, or northern South America nonstop. The longer-legged development of the Westwind line.
Israel Aircraft Industries built the Westwind II from 1980 with an improved wing and winglets, cruising near 424 knots at up to 45,000 feet. Added range and efficiency distinguish it from the Westwind I.
