Unusual Visitor: Prescott Support CN-235 N857PS in Curaçao
An unusual visitor appeared at Curaçao International Airport on my first day back home, when a CASA CN-235 registered N857PS made a brief stop on the island.
Operated by US-based Prescott Support, the aircraft arrived from Miami International Airport before continuing its journey onward to Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO/SYCJ) after approximately one hour on the ground.
Aircraft: CASA CN-235-300 N857PS

The CN-235 is a versatile twin-turboprop transport aircraft widely used in both military and civilian roles, known for its ability to operate from short and remote airstrips. Aircraft of this type are often employed in logistics, surveillance, and special mission roles.
Prescott Support is an aviation services provider specializing in cargo, charter, and aviation management operations. The company operates globally, frequently supporting time-sensitive and specialized transport missions.
Aircraft operated by companies like Prescott Support are often associated with government contract work, and their movements can occasionally attract attention due to the nature of the missions they may support. Interestingly, the aircraft took the long route around the North boundary of the Maiquetia Flight Information Region (FIR) rather than a more direct route.
N857PS departs for Georgetown, Guyana. Its destination showed as “N/A” in Flightradar24.
Movements like this are relatively uncommon at Curaçao, making N857PS a noteworthy catch and a reminder that even a routine day at the airport can produce something a little different.
