The robust Q400, the world’s most modern turboprop, has been honed to perfection, allowing families, businesses and communities to stay connected. 5 Q SERIES InTRoDucTIon The Q400, the latest in the Q Series family, provides unmatched performance and operational flexibility. Designed as a modern, 21st-century turboprop, it entered service in the year 2000. The Q400 is an aircraft nimble enough for a steep approach, yet tough enough to land on unpaved run- ways. It’s a real performer at high altitude airports too, like that of La Paz, Bolivia, one of the world’s highest. (The Q400 has the certification to prove it.) Thanks to the Q400’s versatility, with its combi- nation of turboprop attributes and jet-like features, the aircraft can be adapted to a variety of business models. With 30% reduction in fuel burn over compet- ing jets, the Q400 radically reduces carbon emissions and increases cost efficiency. Its high-speed cruise, 160 km/h faster than conventional turboprops, places the aircraft within minutes of jet schedules, at the same seat cost as larger single-aisle jets. Its large propeller operates at a lower RPM, generating more power with less noise and making it a friendly option for city centres. The
