Gentlemen, here are a few current facts concerning one large and successful Saab operator.
Regional Express in Australia operate 51 Saab 340's (A, B, B+ and WT models and variants).
REX is among the most profitable airlines in the world based on its relative turnover. They operate Saabs over longer sectors than any other operator (550NM single sectors, several times per day and every day).
The despatch reliability and on time performance at REX is consistently above most other operators in Australia (Regional and Domestic).
The GE CT9B/5A-2 has a much lower fuel burn than its competitors, etc., etc.
