Classic Dash replacement??

Post by Hilroy »

Hey guys!

Which aircraft represent the future of the 37 passengers? I guess Jazz/AC will at one point start to phase out those DHC8-100, most of them are now over 30 years old.

Thanks!

The 100 is already being phased out. A lot of it’s routes it’s being replaced by 300’s and their routes by the Q. There are quite a few that don’t seem to justify the Q And I wonder how jazz/chorus plans to supplement that

Unless someone wants to crank out new 100's would the small ATR's be about the same or are they closer to the 300?

(I guess the are is 54 seats so yeah a 300 not 100)

Georgian can take over some of those runs. I hear they’re hiring.

So Jazz would take over some Georgian routes in the near future ?

I hear they getting some flying boats and are going to open some float bases. (This would actually be awesome)

Last I heard EVAS is replacing the 1900’s with canso’s

Aren't they just extending the life of the -300s?

I'm sure a big enough order, and Viking would make some Q300NGs

They are attempting to extend the life of the -311's, as it seems the -301s are kaput once the gear is out of spec. GSTA went in for its extension and lo and behold, ended up being parted out and cut up. I think a few more may end up that way in the very near future.

Supposedly a few years ago BBD approached Jazz/Chorus and offered to spool up the production line if they made a reasonable order. Doubt that would ever happen.

It does leave a pretty big gap in some of our route structure.

GGN's 1900 base in YYZ is done. Supposedly Calgary is next on the chopping block. Rumour says CMA for red deer and med hat. Classic dash for lethbridge and cranbrook.

I would imagine ATR 42’s are the only aircraft around that can fill the void although their operating cost is within 10% of the 72’s so it may not make sense.

What’s interesting is that MTA, STA and VTA have been removed from service. MTA was very recently, so the fleet is now down to 25 -300s with an overstaffed roster!

There is a big hole in the 19 pax market (1900) and 37 pax market (-100)...

I guess we're a special country and those type of aircraft aren't in a big demand around the world!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's not a pressurized aircraft. I'm not sure if they have "two versions".

Red deer stopped service Nov 1st 2018.

AC won't work with CMA because of some bad blood from the past. (previous legal action).

May 1st is the rumour I heard for the 1900 yyc base closing down. Jazz to take over the remaining routes.

A few years ago, there was lots of talk about lifetime extensions, so I can see the reluctance to consider new aircraft. If planes aren't able to be economically extended, then new airframes is the next logical step. I really doubt we'll see a "Dash-9", although that is a neat idea.

Modernised more efficient engines, Q400 avionics, legitimate common type rating with the current Q400. I don't think it's that much of a stretch.

Now that Viking owns the dash-8 program they should revamp the 100/300 and make new frames like they did with the twotter

As much as this may be a bit tongue in cheek, most Russian aircraft would serve the Canadian market much better than the airplanes we currently use that were mainly designed for pavement to pavement originally.
