The Dash 8-300 is a popular aircraft used across the world for short haul / regional routes owing to its comfort and superior performance. Manufactured in Canada by DeHavilland (now Bombardier), the Dash 8-300 series offers the economy and safety of a twin turbo-prop with the comfort of a modern jet airliner. Key features include a quiet, full height, pressurised, air-conditioned cabin, leather seats with generous legroom, large overhead lockers and inflight cabin service from two flight attendants. Its top speed is 530kms per hour, making it faster than its 36-seat counterpart the Dash 8-100 and able to carry 1.6 times the payload in only 3.25 metres additional length.

Comfort, speed, capacity and economy - the Dash 8-300s are indeed a top performer.
