Walvis Bay - St. Helena is 1.400m as the crow flies, so we are talking about an Embraer 135/145 or a CRJ200. Certaibly not the type of aircraft the locals need - not comfortwise, but to bring back goods as freight from visits to South Africa which probably is much more important on this route than almost everywhere else.
indeed a regional jet is Not going to be anyway close for the mission needs...for both operationally nor economically
can a pax CRJ/EMB even cope with such windy condtions - I have no idea of their limits
and how can you get bulk freight on one lol
