The figures below summarize the performance and dimensions that matter most when you are matching an aircraft to a trip. They reflect typical configurations; exact numbers vary with weight, weather, and how a given aircraft is equipped.
With a maximum range just over 1,300 nautical miles, the Fairchild Metro 23 covers major regional routes with ease, such as Dallas to Chicago, Los Angeles to Denver, or London to Rome in a single segment. Its economical fuel consumption and short-field performance allow access to metropolitan airports and remote destinations alike. | While not built for transcontinental distances, the Metro 23 excels in connecting high-demand city pairs and underserved markets. Its 270-knot cruise ensures quick regional hops, and the ability to operate from fields as short as 3,000 feet gives it a reach far beyond most commuter jets. | The twin Garrett turboprops provide reliable climb and cruise capability, keeping schedules on track and passengers comfortable. With its balanced speed, range, and runway flexibility, the Metro 23 is a leader for regional group travel.
Aboard the Metro 23, passengers enjoy a practical, spacious single-aisle cabin tailored for group movement. The standard arrangement seats 19 in comfortable, high-backed chairs with overhead storage and generous legroom for a regional airliner. | The cabin is bright and functional, with large windows providing natural light and a sense of openness. Most configurations include a forward galley and an aft lavatory, ensuring convenience on longer journeys. | Though not designed for luxury, the Metro 23’s well-appointed interior features noise insulation for a peaceful ride, in-flight power options, and flexible seating layouts. Its three-cubic-foot baggage compartment handles compact luggage and personal items. For business teams or leisure groups, the environment is ideal for productivity or relaxation on every flight.

The Metro 23 isn’t suited for long-haul or international journeys, nor is it the most economical choice for solo travelers or small groups. For regional charters with up to 19 passengers—corporate shuttles, sports teams, or event transfers—it offers unmatched value and access to secondary airports.
The Fairchild Metro 23 is typically configured for 19 passengers in a single-aisle arrangement, with all seats facing forward. The cabin is designed for group travel, making it a favorite for corporate, sports, and event charters.
Yes. The Metro 23 features a stand-up cabin height of approximately 5 feet 10 inches, allowing passengers to move comfortably. It is equipped with a forward galley, overhead storage, and an aft lavatory for passenger convenience.
For most regional routes, the Metro 23 is an excellent option. It can efficiently connect city pairs like Dallas to Chicago or Los Angeles to Denver nonstop, but is not intended for coast-to-coast trips.
