It has 5-bladed Hartzell constant-speed propellers and has a range of 915 nm. With a service ceiling of 20,000 ft, this aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 22,899 lbs. This qualifies the 300 as a STOL aircraft.
Compared with the Skyvan though the fuselage is stretched by 12 ft 5 in, allowing seating for over 10 more passengers.There are two separate cockpit doors for the pilot and copilot.

Leasing the Short 330
The basic Short 330 is a passenger aircraft that was intended to be a short-range, regional and commuter airliner. It had been designed to take advantage of US regulations that allowed commuter airlines to use aircraft carrying up to 30 passengers. Even though it was slower than its competitors, the aircraft has a reputation for being comfortable, quiet, and rugged. Implementing the braced-wing and boxy-fuselage configuration offers more ease of maintenance and serviceability.

Dry Lease
Dry leases supply aircraft to certified charter operators and lessees without the extras. The crew, the staff, supporting equipment, maintenance programs, and insurance plans are obtained and managed by the lessees. Dry leases are utilized mostly by companies and banks. Leasing a Short 330 requires the lessee to obtain an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) and registration for the aircraft. The owner will hand over possession of the aircraft to the lessee and will have no operational control over the aircraft.
Wet Lease
Wet leases do not require the transfer of possession of the Short 330. The lessor will provide the aircraft with a complete crew, maintenance plan, and insurance. However, the lessee will cover the hours of operation, fuel costs, airport fees, taxes, and other necessary expenditures. Wet leases allow for more flexibility with the lease term. Usually, these leasing contracts last anywhere from a month to two years.
