    The de Havilland Dash 8 was launched in 1980 as a larger successor to the highly
    successful Twin Otter and a more fuel-efficient and advanced technological
    alternative to the Dash 7. It is built as rugged, reliable aircraft for high-frequency
    and short-haul regional airline operations with its unique STOL capability. Capacity
    is 37 to 39 passengers.
    First flight for Dash 8-100 was on June 29 1983 and it entered service in
    December 1984 with norOntair in Canada.
    The 50 to 56 seat version series 300 was launched in 1986 as a higher-capacity
    alternative to the 100.
    In 1995 the Dash 8-400 rolled-out. This aircraft with increased speed and range
    is built for 70 to 78 passengers. Wideroe will be the European launch customer for
    the 400. It will enter service in mid-1999. Bombardier de Havilland Dash 8s is now
