Turboprop aircraft continue to serve certain segments of the Canadian domestic market more efficiently than regional
or larger jet aircraft. On short-haul routes with lower traffic volumes, turboprops often present the most economical and
efficient way to serve these markets. Compared to larger jet aircraft, the turboprop is more profitable to operate on
shorter routes with low levels of passenger demand due to its generally lower break-even load requirements.
