How is the Q400 suited to the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport?
Like the other members of the Dash 8 family, the Q400 is approved to fly into the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The aircraft departs and lands safely using existing runways at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Take-off and landing distance requirements depend on many factors, including aircraft operating weight, required fuel including reserves, passenger and cargo payload and environmental conditions. Porter has ordered a reduced-weight variant of the Q400 that will be customized for its market and payload requirements.
