Then on thinner routes, perhaps new Cessna 408s although range is a bit iffy, considering their load factors 19 seats may be about right for short hops
The Q400 doesn’t need screening. Screening requirements are linked to airport passenger numbers, not aircraft size.
There are several ports QLink operate the Q400 to that don’t have screening.
