Product Details

The Saab 2000 is a twin-engine high-speed turboprop airliner manufactured by the Swedish company Saab. Designed to carry 50–58 passengers, the Saab 2000 boasts a cruising speed of 685 km/h (370 knots). This makes it one of the fastest turboprop airliners. The aircraft first flew in March 1992 and began scheduled airline service in September 1994.

Production of the Saab 2000 continued until April 1999, with 63 aircraft built. Notably, Darwin Airline, a regional airline based in Switzerland, operated the Saab 2000 on various regional routes. Darwin Airline later rebranded as Etihad Regional, used the high-speed capabilities and efficiency of the Saab 2000 to provide reliable and comfortable service. The aircraft was ideal for short- and medium-range routes.

Its advanced design and performance characteristics made it a preferred choice for regional airlines. Specifically, these airlines sought a competitive edge in terms of speed and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the Saab 2000’s spacious cabin and modern avionics contributed to a positive passenger experience.

Despite the production ending in 1999, the legacy of the Saab 2000 continues. It remains in service with various operators worldwide, thus proving its enduring value in the regional aviation market.

Therefore, the speed, efficiency, and passenger comfort combination ensures the Saab 2000 remains a significant player in turboprop airliner history. Moreover, its continued use by various airlines highlights its lasting impact on the industry.
