For the transportation of passengers, Sky Express operates 19 seats BAe Jetstream 31/2 aircraft with two pilots and one cabin attendant. The J31 is a very successful and widely used aircraft, offering jet comfort at the price of a turboprop. It is reliable, safe, and fast enough to achieve comparable flight times with those of a jet aircraft between short distance airports. The J31/2 is the most spacious aircraft in its class with a stand-up height cabin. It has a luxurious air-conditioned cabin with leather seats, lavatory, galley, cargo pod and aft baggage compartment. |
