The figures below summarize the performance and dimensions that matter most when you are matching an aircraft to a trip. They reflect typical configurations; exact numbers vary with weight, weather, and how a given aircraft is equipped.

The DHC-8-314 covers up to 2,034 nautical miles on a single mission, connecting regional business centers, remote resorts, and outlying communities without the need for fuel stops. Typical nonstop routes include Montreal to Miami, Dallas to Denver, or London to Rome, all within its practical reach with full passenger loads and reserves. | This aircraft’s 414 mph cruise speed ensures fast, efficient travel, while its ability to operate from runways as short as 3,550 feet expands your access to exclusive and secondary airports. The advanced turboprop engines provide reliable climb performance, and the aircraft’s 25,000-foot ceiling allows for smooth rides above most regional weather. | For private groups, the DHC-8-314 translates into shorter total travel times, door-to-door flexibility, and the ability to bypass busy commercial terminals entirely.

Step inside the DHC-8-314 and you’ll find a spacious, bright cabin that welcomes up to 50 guests in standard airline-style seating, or can be refitted for VIP configurations with club seating and extra legroom. | The generous headroom and wide aisle make movement easy, and large windows flood the cabin with natural light, creating a pleasant and productive atmosphere for work or relaxation. | Modernized interiors on many aircraft offer comfortable, reclining seats, in-seat power options, and a dedicated lavatory, ensuring your group travels in comfort and privacy. The aft baggage compartment accommodates up to 14 cubic feet—ideal for business equipment or personal luggage for the entire group.




The DHC-8-314 is ideal for shuttling corporate teams, sports groups, or delegations on regional journeys where direct access and group comfort are paramount. Its capacity and rugged landing capabilities make it less suitable for long-haul luxury or remote island hops, but for private charters up to 50, it represents unmatched flexibility and value.


The DHC-8-314 typically seats up to 50 passengers in standard airline layout, with some aircraft offering VIP, club, or flexible configurations to tailor the experience for your group’s needs.
