Skytrans Dash 8-100
Skytrans operates the Dash 8-100 on community routes from Cairns to Cape York and Torres Strait destinations. It carries approximately 37 passengers in a 2-2 layout, serving remote airstrips where larger aircraft can't operate. The 2-2 configuration means no middle seats. Flights are typically 30-90 minutes over tropical north Queensland.
Best Seats on the Skytrans Dash 8-100
Front rows (1-3) are ahead of the propellers and the quietest. The 2-2 layout means every seat is window or aisle. Window seats on the right side often provide spectacular views of the Cape York coastline and Torres Strait islands. On a 37-seat aircraft, deplaning is quick from any position.
Seats to Avoid
Propeller zone rows (approximately 5-8) are the noisiest. Rear rows are quieter than mid-cabin but furthest from the exit. Standard turboprop advice: sit forward for the best combination of quiet and quick deplaning.
