St. Helena, located 1,200 miles west of the southern coast of Africa, is probably best known as the final home of Napoleon Bonaparte. It is a British Overseas Territory and home to about 4,000 people. Until the airport opens in February, 2016, the island has only been accessible to visitors who use the RMS St. Helena, a ship that makes the 5 day trip from Cape Town every three weeks. The ship will be retired in April, 2016.
Routes have been proposed by two airlines. One, Comair Limited, is a South African airline and has received permission to fly one a week from Johannesburg. The other proposed airline is a British startup, Atlantic Star Airlines, but as of yet, the company does not operate any planes.
