Skippers Aviation Dash 8-300
The Dash 8-300 is the stretched variant, carrying approximately 50 passengers in a 2-2 layout on Skippers' busier WA regional and FIFO routes. It offers the same no-middle-seat comfort as the -100 but with more capacity. The aircraft handles the hot conditions and varied runway surfaces of outback WA effectively.
Best Seats on the Skippers Aviation Dash 8-300
Front rows (1-4) are the quietest and deplane fastest. The 2-2 layout means every seat is window or aisle. Exit row seats offer additional legroom if available. On a 50-seat aircraft, the front-row advantage for both noise and deplaning speed is more noticeable than on the smaller Dash 8-100.
Seats to Avoid
Propeller zone rows (approximately 6-10) are the noisiest. Rear rows (12-14) are quieter than mid-cabin but the furthest from the exit. The last row may have limited recline. Standard turboprop advice applies: sit forward for the quietest ride.
