What flies it
Block time here is gate to gate, and most of it is not cruise. Every row adds 21 minutes to the cruise leg for taxi, climb and approach, which on 323 nautical miles is a large share of the trip. A twin turboprop does it in 1h 25m against 1h 05m for a light jet, a difference of 20 minutes. Across the whole list the spread is 25 minutes, so on a hop this short the turboprops are a real answer rather than a compromise.
