Skytrans Dash 8-300
The Dash 8-300 is Skytrans' larger turboprop, carrying approximately 50 passengers in a 2-2 layout on busier Cape York and Torres Strait routes. It offers more capacity than the -100 with the same no-middle-seat comfort. The aircraft handles the short, sometimes unpaved runways of remote Queensland airstrips.
Best Seats on the Skytrans Dash 8-300
Front rows (1-4) are the quietest and deplane fastest. Exit row seats offer extra legroom if available. Window seats provide views of the Great Barrier Reef, Cape York rainforest, and Torres Strait waters that are genuinely spectacular from a low-flying turboprop. The 2-2 layout means all seats have direct window or aisle access.
Seats to Avoid
Propeller zone (rows 6-10) is the noisiest section. Last rows may have limited recline and are furthest from the exit. On flights over an hour, the noise difference between front and mid-cabin rows is worth considering when selecting your seat.
