Commercial Turboprop Airplanes

Turboprop airplanes are most suitable for short-haul flights (for regional services).  They are very efficient at flight speeds below 700 km/h. A turboprop airplane can be landed in extreme crosswinds, due to the ability to properly "crab" into the wind at slower speeds and still maintain acceptable airspeed. It can use a wider range of airports and runways, even runways which are not suitable for commercial jet engine airplanes.
