De Havilland Canada Dash 8-200

Same short airframe, more power: the hot-rod -100 · In service 1995

The Series 200 kept the -100's 22.25 m fuselage and 37 to 40 seats but swapped in Pratt & Whitney Canada PW123C or PW123D engines of 2,150 shp. That lifted the high-speed cruise from 270 to 289 knots and stretched the range to around 1,125 nmi.

Bombardier delivered the first Series 200 in April 1995. From 1996 every Dash 8 left the line with active noise and vibration suppression, and the model was marketed as the Q200.

Production of the Q200 ended in 2009; 105 had been delivered. Operators included Horizon Air, QantasLink, Air Greenland and Air Iceland Connect, where its speed and short-field ability suited thin, remote routes.
