With the introduction of the Dash 8-400 NG aircraft, De Havilland Canada invented the modern turboprop. Optimized for short-haul operations and seating up to 86 passengers, the aircraft is a large, fast, quiet and fuel-efficient turboprop that provides the perfect balance of passenger comfort, performance and operational flexibility with the lowest seat-mile costs in the short-haul regional market. With the flexibility to fly at both turboprop and jet-like speeds, the Dash 8-400 NG aircraft can be profitably deployed over short-range turboprop missions and in medium-haul jet markets. Now available in optional dual-class, extra capacity and passenger-cargo combi configurations, the Dash 8-400 NG aircraft’s versatility positions it to again reshape the turboprop market through profitable growth.
