==Accidents and incidents==
*[[Quebecair]] Flight 714, a charter flight operated with a [[Boeing 707-123B]] from [[Toronto]], crashed on its approach to Hewanorra International Airport on 19 February 1979. [[Wind shear]] caused the aircraft to halt its descent. The copilot, who was flying at the time, retarded the throttles, but the aircraft had just passed the wind shear zone, and the nose slammed into the runway and bounced twice, destroying the nose landing gear. There were no fatalities and only minor injuries. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and was written off.{{cn|date=November 2024}}
*[[Virgin Atlantic]] Flight 98 from [[A.N.R. Robinson International Airport]] on the island of [[Tobago]] landed on a flooded runway at the airport on 24 December 2013.  The [[Airbus A330]] sustained damage to panels on the underside of the aircraft near the pack bay. The adjacent Petite Riviere Du Vieux Fort had flooded and [[Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority]] investigators concluded the aircraft landed in one to two feet of water.<ref>"[http://avherald.com/h?article=46d97b6f&opt=0 Accident: Virgin A333 at St. Lucia on Dec 24th 2013, mud landing on runway]."
