The financial aspect speaks in favor of Turboprops, as Turboprops are frequently less costly to operate for short distance than a jet. Turboprops can also often land and take off from facilities whose runways are too short for jets. Many airlines also have the possibility of parking their Turboprops on location, whereby expensive positioning flights are no longer necessary for the customer.
