Some flights are filed only as a De Havilland Canada Dash 8, without the variant. Knowing which one operates your departure is the first thing to settle before you pick a seat, because cabins differ far more between airframes than between rows. Each aircraft below opens the nonstop routes 8T flies it on, with the longest of them and the configuration on file where there is one. Updated October 22, 2026.

Regional flying under the 8T brand counts as 8T metal; flights 8T markets but another airline operates don't. ### De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Turboprop · Filed as DH8 **Nonstop routes**\ 16 **Airports served**\ 6 **Typical route**\ 220 mi Longest route: [Hay River (YHY) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yhy-yeg.md), about 530 miles. #### Routes it flies most - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Hay River (YHY)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yhy.md) - [Hay River (YHY) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yhy-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Fort Smith (YSM)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-ysm.md) - [Fort Simpson (YFS) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yfs-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Fort Simpson (YFS)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yfs.md) - [Hay River (YHY) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yhy-yeg.md) [The other 10 routes on the 8T route map](https://2lnr.com/routes/airlines/8t.md) ### De Havilland Canada Dash 8-300 Turboprop · Filed as DH3 **Nonstop routes**\ 12 **Airports served**\ 5 **Typical route**\ 190 mi Longest route: [Edmonton (YEG) to Hay River (YHY)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yeg-yhy.md), about 530 miles. #### Routes it flies most - [Fort Chipewyan (YPY) to Fort Smith (YSM)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ypy-ysm.md) - [Hay River (YHY) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yhy-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Hay River (YHY)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yhy.md) - [Fort Smith (YSM) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ysm-yzf.md) - [Fort Chipewyan (YPY) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ypy-yeg.md) - [Fort Smith (YSM) to Fort Chipewyan (YPY)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ysm-ypy.md) [The other 6 routes on the 8T route map](https://2lnr.com/routes/airlines/8t.md) ### De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter Turboprop · Filed as DHT **Nonstop routes**\ 6 **Airports served**\ 4 **Typical route**\ 140 mi Longest route: [Gamètì (YRA) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yra-yzf.md), about 150 miles. #### Routes it flies most - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Lutselk'e (YSG)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-ysg.md) - [Lutselk'e (YSG) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ysg-yzf.md) - [Gamètì (YRA) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yra-yzf.md) - [Wekweètì (YFJ) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yfj-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Gamètì (YRA)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yra.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Wekweètì (YFJ)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yfj.md) ### De Havilland Canada Dash 8-100 Turboprop · Filed as DH1 **Nonstop routes**\ 6 **Airports served**\ 4 **Typical route**\ 190 mi Longest route: [Fort Simpson (YFS) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yfs-yzf.md), about 220 miles. #### Routes it flies most - [Fort Simpson (YFS) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yfs-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Fort Simpson (YFS)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yfs.md) - [Hay River (YHY) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yhy-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Hay River (YHY)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-yhy.md) - [Fort Smith (YSM) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ysm-yzf.md) - [Yellowknife (YZF) to Fort Smith (YSM)](https://2lnr.com/routes/yzf-ysm.md) Route counts are distinct directional nonstop city pairs in 2LNR's schedule data. Where an airline files a family code without naming a variant, the card reads as the family: that's what was filed, and guessing the airframe would be worse than saying so. Distances are great-circle miles between the two airports, rounded to the nearest ten, not the track a flight actually files. A longest route is shown only where every one of that aircraft's routes could be measured, and a typical route only where most of them could; where the measurement was too thin, the figure is left out rather than estimated. ## How to see the seat map for your 8T flight The useful version of this question is per flight, not per aircraft type. ### Add the flight, then open its live map On Pro, 2LNR reads the seat map for the specific 8T flight and date you're looking at, scores the open seats inside your own cabin and marks paid seats as paid. It's read at the moment you ask rather than stored, so an aircraft swap shows up as a different map instead of a wrong one. ### Then let it watch Cabins churn in the last days before departure as blocked rows release and upgrades clear. Seat monitoring re-reads the map on a cadence that tightens as departure approaches and tells you when a better seat opens, or when the seat you hold changes underneath you. More on that in [seat monitoring](https://2lnr.com/lp/seat-monitoring.md). ### If you want a cabin diagram instead 2LNR doesn't publish stored cabin drawings or per-seat comfort ratings for 8T aircraft, and this page won't pretend otherwise. For browsing a layout on an aircraft you haven't booked, a maintained diagram library such as [AeroLOPA](https://www.aerolopa.com/) is the right tool. ## More on Air Tindi - [Where 8T flies: the Air Tindi route map](https://2lnr.com/routes/airlines/8t.md) - [Seat maps by airline and aircraft](https://2lnr.com/seatmaps.md) - [How to read an airline seat map](https://2lnr.com/guides/airline-seat-maps.md) - [What replaced SeatGuru](https://2lnr.com/compare/seatguru.md) ## Frequently asked questions about Air Tindi (8T) aircraft **What aircraft does Air Tindi fly?** Three aircraft types appear on Air Tindi's own metal in 2LNR's schedule data, reaching 9 airports, including De Havilland Canada Dash 8-300, De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, and De Havilland Canada Dash 8-100. The full list is on this page, with the nonstop routes each one operates and the recorded cabin configuration where there is one. Regional flying under the 8T brand is counted as 8T metal; flights 8T markets but another airline operates are not. **Does 2LNR publish 8T seat maps by aircraft type?** Not as static diagrams. 2LNR reads the LIVE seat map for a specific 8T flight and date, which is a different thing from a stored cabin drawing: an aircraft swap shows up as a different map rather than a wrong one. If you want to browse a cabin layout for an aircraft you have not booked, a maintained seat-map library such as AeroLOPA is the right tool, and this page says so rather than pretending otherwise. **How do I see the seat map for my 8T flight?** Add the flight to 2LNR and open it. Pro plans pull that departure's live seat map, score the open seats inside your own cabin, and mark paid seats as paid. 2LNR can then keep watching the map for a better seat, which is the part a static 8T cabin diagram was never able to do. **Where does this 8T fleet information come from?** From the schedules 2LNR collects continuously and uses to build its own route map: every aircraft listed here is one 8T has filed against a nonstop route it operates, and the counts are the routes in that data. It is a picture of what is scheduled, not an aircraft register, so a type 8T owns but is not currently scheduling will not appear. Route lengths are great-circle distances between the two airports rather than flown track miles. **What is the longest route Air Tindi flies?** Of the routes in 2LNR's schedule data, the longest 8T operates on its own metal is Edmonton (YEG) to Hay River (YHY), about 530 miles great-circle, flown on the De Havilland Canada Dash 8-300. That is the distance between the two airports rather than the track the flight actually takes, and it is the routing rather than the aircraft that decides it: 8T schedules more than one type on many of its routes. ## See the seats on your 8T flight Free to start.
