Cabin Size
The Dash 8-400 has a modern, quiet and spacious cabin with more leg room in premium economy seating.
Turboprops
Turboprops are the more modern and smarter version of the jet engine. Our aircraft uses the same turbine technology as a jet but replaces an internal turbofan with an external propeller. On our short regional flights our turboprop aircraft is simply the Smarter technology and choice.
