Bombardier
Q
The original Dash 8* did so well in
developing regional airline routes
that its operators soon required
an aircraft with more power
and more seats. The answer is
the Bombardier* Q300*, with the
lowest seat-mile costs and best
performance in its class.
Eleven feet (3.4 m) longer than the Q100*/Q200*, the Q300 has the capacity
to seat 56 passengers, although most versions are congured to hold
50 seats. The Q300 has an outstanding take-off and landing capability,
even on unprepared airstrips, making it an ideal aircraft for airlines operating
in developing regions of the world.
