World's second large cargo door Dash 8-300


Air Inuit has made the ultimate cut for the world's second large cargo door Dash 8-300. Works were recently completed at the Canadian company's Montreal facility.

 

In order to optimise space capacity and reduce cargo delivery time, the carrier worked with Rockwell Collins to design the world’s first all-cargo Dash 8 equipped with an oversized door.

 

After more than 36 months of planning, design, retrofitting and safety testing, the custom-modified aircraft officially entered the Air Inuit fleet in February 2022.

 

The large cargo door allows, among other things, to load and unload cargo directly from a pallet, thereby reducing the risk of injuries related to handling freight loads. Loading and unloading times can be shortened and risk of damage to cargo is also reduced. (ah)
