The Fokker 50, so called because of its capacity to accommodate up to 50 passengers in a standard configuration, belongs to the category of turboprop airliners and is known for its excellent reliability and durability. The Fokker 50 is also more spacious than many other aircraft in its class, including the Dornier 328 and Saab 340, providing more comfortable service. As it is powered by a turboprop engine, this aircraft does not have the maximum cruise speed and range that one would find with a jet aircraft. However, the Fokker 50 is still capable of a decent range for an aircraft of this type of over 2,000 km, further than its rivals Dornier and Saab. Overall, this plane’s combination of space and performance makes it attractive to large groups looking for short-haul flight options.
