The final commuter certified Metro, cleared to higher weights for passenger or freight work.

Nineteen seats

Nineteen seats or freight in one airframe

Certification to the commuter category brought higher weights and an updated cabin to the last of the line, carrying nineteen passengers at 500 km/h. Two turboprops and an unpressurised cargo option make the type unusually flexible for its size.

The reason to specify this build over earlier ones is payload on a hot day and the option of a quick change to freight. There is no catering, and the slim fuselage means passengers sit close together for the whole leg.
