Saba
| Weekly departures | Weekly seats | Destinations | Airlines | Largest carrier share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | 418 | 1 | 1 | 100.0% |
Saba is tied for 27th with St Eustatius, both overall (14.2) and regionally (22.2). It is a shuttle market: it serves exactly 1 destination island, St Maarten / St Martin (Princess Juliana and Grand Case). Its ranking reflects that role, not a shortfall against larger islands.
All 22 weekly departures and 418 seats are flown by Winair (WM), which gives the maximum concentration of 10,000, with no destination served by a second airline (0.0%).
Its connectivity to the rest of the region runs through St Maarten / St Martin (Princess Juliana and Grand Case). Saba is among the 13 islands that travelers arriving there from outside the Caribbean can reach on the same day; same-day reach is not measured from Saba itself. The index has no load-factor data for Saba.
Score and rank
The connectivity score is an index on 0–100 built from departures, destinations, airlines, hub links and seats; the regional score uses the Caribbean subset only. Both are defined in the methodology. Not a percentage — an island does not have "96% connectivity".
| Measure | Score | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 14.2 | #27 of 28 |
| Regional (Caribbean only) | 22.2 | #27 of 28 |

Resilience
How exposed this island's connectivity is to one airline or one route stopping. All three figures are derived from the route table below, so they can be checked against it.
| Carrier concentration (HHI on seats) | 10,000 of 10,000 — higher is more concentrated |
|---|---|
| Largest carrier by seats | Winair at 100.0% of seats |
| Destinations served by 2+ airlines | 0 of 1 (0.0%) |
| Most-served Caribbean destination | SXM, carrying 100.0% of Caribbean departures |
Gateway reach
Long-haul arrivals at the cluster gateway that connect onward to Saba within the same day, with the best total journey time. Only islands in a gateway cluster have this.

Load factors
No publishable load factors for Saba. The sources — Eurostat and BTS T-100 — cover a subset of routes, and a route-month is only used where the source publishes both seats and passengers and the two are consistent. An absence here is missing source data, not a low load factor.
Low season against peak
Peak week pending. This edition measures the week of 19 October 2026 only, and that week is an early shoulder week rather than the bottom of the season — some winter services start in October and others in November and December. The peak week is collected separately, and no low-versus-peak comparison is shown until it exists.
