The airline web site on these planes:

The Basler Turbo 67’s are an updated version of the flight legend DC-3. The BT 67’s are equipped
with two Pratt and Whitney PT6A 67R turbo engines and use 5 blade 115” Hartzell propellers, this
combination gives the aircraft a substantial increase of performance and reliability, more speed and
more payload.

Another example of the best plane to replace a DC-3, another DC-3.
