A Saab 340 is the smallest suitable in most cases.
Point taken - although I’m not convinced that if you can board a Saab you can’t board a metro. Don’t have Saab experience but thought the only way onto a Saab was via the stairs?
Fair enough that no one wants to consider a smaller plane than a Saab cause it’s not desirable for one reason or another. I’m not convinced that a smaller and cheaper plane such as a metro can’t adequately fill the void.
