SAAB SF340
    Saab developed the Saab 340 to meet regional airline operators' requirements for the highest possible standard of passenger comfort at minimum cost. A systematic and logical design process resulted in an aircraft with a pressurized cabin, three-abreast seating and two turboprop engines on a low wing.  It entered service in June 1984 following an intensive four-year development and certification program. From the first deliveries, Saab has continually developed and improved the aircraft. These developments have been driven by engineering refinements, responses to customer needs and airworthiness requirements.
   
From the outset the Saab 340 was aimed at two types of operation; as a feeder aircraft to the major airline hubs and as a regional airliner providing services to markets where economics had previously precluded larger aircraft. The Saab 340 is the world's most popular regional airliner in the 20 to 39 seat category currently in production.
