Skippers Aviation Dash 8-100
The Dash 8-100 carries approximately 37 passengers in a 2-2 all-economy layout on Skippers' WA regional and charter routes. It's a twin-turboprop well-suited to the shorter runways and remote airstrips of outback Western Australia. The 2-2 configuration means no middle seats -- every passenger gets a window or an aisle. Flights are typically 1-2 hours serving mining towns and remote communities.
Best Seats on the Skippers Aviation Dash 8-100
Front rows (1-3) are ahead of the propellers and noticeably quieter. The 2-2 layout means all seats have window or aisle access. On a 37-seat aircraft, deplaning is quick from any position. Window seats on scenic WA routes provide views of the red outback landscape and remote mining operations.
Seats to Avoid
Mid-cabin rows alongside the propellers (approximately rows 5-8) are the noisiest section. Rear rows are quieter than the propeller zone but furthest from the exit. On short FIFO charter flights, the noise difference between front and mid is the main comfort variable.
