A top 10 list of the best commercial commuter planes ever built. All aircraft have 40 or less seats, and is based off performance, not comfort.The Top Ten
1 Antonov AN-28
Rugged, all-terrain, and can land at virtually any airport, and is also now produced by a western aircraft producer. Somewhat spacey too.
-Smaller, can fly virtually anywhere
2 DHC-6 Twin Otter
Like the an-28 pretty rugged but cannot land on everything.
3 Dornier 228
4 Shorts 330
Cheap for airlines, good short field performance, somewhat quiet.
5 DC-3
Well known, reliable, and still somewhat common today
6 AN-26
Popular with Russians... Easy to fly, good performance
7 B1900D
A higher fuselage, winglets, and one hot rod look
8 Saab 340
Larger, good speed and range
9 CASA 212
Good for third world countries, excellent air force model, easy to fly
10 Let L-410
The Contenders
11 ATR-42
Comfortable, easy to fly, good performance
12 Boeing 747-8
Technically the Boeing Business Jet 747-8 carries less than 40 people, can do 700+ mph, and why would you not commute on it?
