As the most advanced model in the Dash 8 series, the de Havilland Dash 8 Q400 is a favorite for regional flights and private charters due to its outstanding performance and low operating costs.

Performance Capabilities
The de Havilland Dash 8 Q400 offers exceptional performance that sets it apart in its class.

It has a maximum range of 1,100 nautical miles, ensuring seamless connectivity for regional and medium-haul routes.
Thanks to its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Dash 8 Q400 can operate on runways as short as 4,000 feet, allowing access to airports with limited infrastructure. This versatility makes it a go-to aircraft for destinations that larger jets cannot reach.
Interior and Comfort

In its typical airline configuration, the de Havilland Dash 8 Q400 accommodates up to 90 passengers, but private charter layouts can be customized to suit individual needs. Fewer seats with upgraded amenities can transform the cabin into a luxurious space, featuring leather seating, enhanced legroom, and business-class comfort.
The aircraft also boasts ample storage space for luggage, equipment, or cargo, making it an excellent choice for group travel or adventure charters.
Specific Features and Innovations

It’s ideal for corporate groups, large families, adventure travelers, and eco-tourism charters. The aircraft’s speed and range make it a practical choice for connecting regional airports with major hubs, while its STOL capabilities allow it to reach destinations with limited runway infrastructure.
