about the aircraft

The DHC-8-300 is a medium-sized twin-engine turboprop aircraft designed especially for civil use in regional passenger transport, generally configured for 50 seats (medium-density) or 54 seats (high-density), whose main technical attraction developed by its manufacturer de Havilland Canada is the good flexibility to land and take off on short or medium runways, with obstacles close to the thresholds or extensions.

From 1996 onwards, these aircraft became part of the Q Series project, with the Q meaning quiet.

This designation derives from the new Noise and Vibration Suppression System (NVS). The Q Series has four models: Q100, Q200, Q300 and Q400 In fact, the modern and efficient Dash Q-300 design is a more refined version of the DHC Dash 8-300, a sales success, with more than 200 units sold worldwide, mainly in the North American and European markets.
