Start of Summer Season at Bern Airport: The First Holiday Flight this Year!

The summer season of 2024 at Bern Airport kicked off in grand style on Sunday 28th April 2024. The airport firefighters welcomed the first holiday charter flight, an Avanti Air Dash 8-Q400, with a spectacular water cannon salute. Avanti Air operated the inaugural holiday charter flight from Bern to Calvi with a load of over 50 passengers. This marked an exciting beginning to the new season!

The Bombardier Dash 8-Q400, a versatile turboprop aircraft known for its reliability and efficiency, has earned the nickname "The Workhorse of the Skies." This nickname is well-deserved due to the Dash 8-Q400's exceptional performance and capabilities.

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A engines, the Dash 8-Q400 can reach speeds of up to 667 km/h. Despite its impressive speed, this aircraft is also fuel-efficient, making it a popular choice for regional airlines looking to minimize operating costs.

With a range of approximately 2,500 kilometers and the ability to accommodate around 70 passengers, the Dash 8-Q400 is perfect for short to medium-haul flights. Its ability to operate on shorter runways and in diverse weather conditions further enhances its reputation as a reliable workhorse in the aviation industry.

Passengers appreciate the Dash 8-Q400 for its comfortable cabin and smooth flying experience, making it a favorite for regional travel. So next time you see this aircraft in the skies, remember why it's affectionately called "The Workhorse of the Skies."
