Spotted this Dash 8 operated by Air Canada Express while waiting to depart Victoria Island, British Columbia. Air Canada Express, formerly Jazz, is a Canadian regional airline. They operate 39 of these Dash-8-400 aircraft in their fleet, replacing shorter Dash -8-100 types in 2020. In 1996, Dash 8s included systems designed to reduce cabin noise and vibration levels to nearly those of jet airliners. These quieter Dash 8 models are marketed as Q-Series turboprops.
