First of all congrats foor MK! Great that they can continue flying!

The idea of flying a turboprop aircraft is not bad in times were fuel prices are high! But why choose a newly still to develop aircraft? Wouldn't it be easier to select for example the Q400 (of which a scandinavian operator still has some for sale ) and convert them to freigthers? Or maybe if MK was looking in the desert for its first B747 there is a C130 left? Much safer to use an already prooven aircraft then going in to a new adventure after the financial trouble.

cheers
