The Dharma people (and subsequently The Others) apparently used a submarine to come and go from the the island any time they wanted to, and now Charles Widmore has brought a team to the island in a submarine. Why are subs so easily able to come and go? |
High Energy field, different time/space, and unstable aircraftWe already know that the island is always moving and appears to have time traveling capabilities. It's possible that the aircrafts cannot stably cross the time/space barrier. List of aircraft that have crashed on the island:
List of aircraft that landed successfully on the island:
Oceanic 815On September 22, 2004, Desmond failed to enter the numbers into the computer which resulted in an electromagnetic buildup and subsequent release of a huge amount of energy. Although he was able to reset the countdown the energy was enough to pull the Oceanic 815 toward the island and apparently break it up. Ajira Airways Flight 316In 2007 the Oceanic 6 bordered Ajira Airways Flight 316. This plane during its course encountered huge turbulence during the night. The plane started to shake hard and bright beam of white light engulfed the whole cabin. Immediately after the flash of light, the pilots found themselves in daylight, although the plane was traveling at night. (time/space travel?) Drug smugglers' planeThe drug smugglers' plane is a destroyed Beechcraft 18 airplane that crashed on the Island after April in 2001. t carried on board a Nigerian drug smuggler disguised as a priest, the body of a real priest and heroin hidden inside of Virgin Mary statues. It also had an on-board radio and maps of Nigeria. Helicopters

Great question. Not sure if they explained this yet or not.
