Nexus Airlines De Havilland Dash 8 Q400 aircraft seat map Nexus Airlines

Nexus Airlines connects the regions, hubs and cities, creating greater access to all corners of Western Australia. They use De Havilland Canada DHC-8 Q400, a twin-engine, medium-range, turboprop airliner. It's one of the most advanced and fastest turboprop aircraft in service, capable of cruising at speeds close to those of many regional jet aircraft. The Q400 is known for its efficiency, quiet operation, and comfort. The Q400 is the latest and most advanced version of the Dash 8. With a cruise speed of over 360 knots and a range of approximately 1,100 nautical miles, it has capabilities comparable to many regional jets. It can carry up to 90 passengers and offers an improved cabin experience with reduced noise and vibration levels. Dash 8 is known for its ability to operate in diverse conditions, including hot-and-high environments and on shorter runways. This has allowed airlines to connect smaller and more remote airports that might be unreachable with other aircraft types. Originally produced by Bombardier Aerospace, the Dash 8 program was later sold to Longview Aviation Capital, who rebranded the manufacturing entity as De Havilland Canada. Passengers often appreciate the comfortable and quiet cabin, especially in the newer Q400 variant, which has active noise and vibration suppression technology.
