Based on the size of the apron at Monkey Mia I highly doubt a Q400 would fit, but I have been proven wrong before.
More than 40 people?? Nope, other WA operators that do RPT do not screen on 50 seat aircraft, the 400 also does not require.
The apron is big enough, but maybe the WA tax payer can pay for upgrades just like they did when REX arrived with low wing aircraft and needed modifications at each airport….
