Plane for 8-10 passengers!?
 

Hi guys,

we are looking for an aircraft which is not older then 15 years (otherwise no registration is possible in Egypt for AOC), and fits 8-10 passengers. Preference would be METP but SETP is also okay.

Has anyone of you got any ideas which turboprop aircraft fit these requirements?

Please let me know.

Cheers,

Alex

Beechcraft King Air 200

Cessna Grand Caravan

Pilatus PC12

Premier I compared to King Air in a cost model?

Budget & mission requirements?
 

One can continue speculating, but you need to state
budget
mission requirements

Very popular is the Beech 1900.

The mighty Twotter is still in production. all depends what you want, Hawker 850XP?

Dog

Sure !
 

Take a Q400 and Remote 60 seats :)
Easy, isn't it ?

All the above can do the job. The cost increases up the chain

I can't see why you'd have any difficulty finding which aircraft fit the bill for a twin or single reasonably new aircraft that seats 8-10 pax. If you want advice on an aviation forum as to which to buy then you'd really need to provide a lot more information. After all we are not all free aviation consultants and some of us are not even pilots anyway. That having been said and guessing that you'd be operating on an Egyptian registry I would have no hesitation in suggesting and recommending the EMB110. You can Google all the information on the machine that you want. The rugged combination, technical simplicity, PT6 engines, passenger and cargo/baggage flexibility make it a strong contender especially supplied in the simpler, cheaper and less troublesome configuration without a glass cockpit.

Let 410 as usual !!

Until you define the mission you're just blowing hot air.

A380 will accommodate 8, 9 or even 10.

These chaps could perhaps devise something that would fit the bill and could probably provide a finance plan that won't blow a hole in your budget.

You could also consider Cessna F406 Caravan II

What are you using it for?

Could be anything from a Caravan to a Citation X and everything in between.

You should give AN-3 a try. Just get a turbine conversion for an AN-2 and off you go!

If you insist on not using this old and reliable piece of soviet engineering you could try finding a PAC 750

Alexander Pichler has flown away? Is that rude of him?

What about one of these... you could even get free fuel for it off this very forum! :}:}:}

Hi guys,

sorry, but I was extremely busy with flying the last days and tomorrow I am leaving for North Africa to meet some people and eventually arrange further things there.

The aim is to tranport tourists with it in the North of Egypt, that's why I was looking for a proper multi turboprop, but considering the current market situation, buying a jet doesn't cost that much more than a proper turbo prop, plus affording the jet comes cheaper with the time than the turbo prop.

The problem is, that it's not allowed to be older than 15 years, otherwise we can't get it registered in Egypt, so many turbo props unfortunately fall out of the segment.

Thanks for your feedback until the current stage, I will get back when back from Africa in 10 days.

Cheers,

Alex
