I'm really gonna miss this aircraft model, once it's finally decommissioned from active service. Surely is a disappointment that the SAAB 2000 couldn't have come at an earlier time - like during the mid '80s, instead of the early '90s. I realize the chosen engine wasn't ready by the mid '80s, though, but the aircraft likely would've enjoyed a much longer production life had those damned CRJ'S hadn't been so popular among travelers at that time during the early 1990's! The ONLY regional jet I still like seeing in action these days is the Boeing 717 (formerly the MD-95)! Nowadays, the CRJ's are put down for their "sardine-can" levels of comfort, while the Q400 and SAAB 2000 are still highly praised! Go figure, huh?!
Nope. The airline is named Loganair. All one word. Named for Willie Logan. I was at their Glasgow HQ a couple of weeks ago. My favourite AC is their Twotter VK. I've had a lot of trips aboard VK.
I love the sound all turbo props make .
Long ago I worked with Trans World Express here in NE USA. We flew the Saab 340A. I never did get a chance to fly on the 2000. Looks sharp.
Prefer the 340 personally ;) Love the engine start on them!
Nice video, as always! It reminded me when Czech airlines flew with SAAB aircraft from Prague to Warsaw :-)
Blimey! That climbed impressively after takeoff 🛫
They do! Fastest civilian turbo prop!
SOUTHEND AVIATION really? I never knew that. Impressive!
A fine aircraft, almost jetspeed (685 km/h)
Beautiful!
It reminds me of an Andover....
awesome catch mate
That was impressive!

Imagine if those turbo-props were jet engines, this plane will look so cool.
I prefer this plane from the Embraer 145!
But 145 is better
Is this airport open as maybe I fly there later in couple of months ?
It is, commercial ops start in May
Bangladesh airlines should buy one of this instead of DASH 8 🤔😜
