Eastern Airways to get sixth Saab 2000 aircraft
UK regional airline Eastern Airways has taken delivery of a fifth Saab 2000 and signed a leased agreement for a sixth from the Swedish aircraft manufacturer.
The airline, which operates scheduled services from 16 UK airports, Brussels and Stavanger, is due to take delivery next week.
Chris Holliday, Eastern Airways chief operating officer, said: “The Saab 2000 aircraft is suited to the key markets that we serve in the UK and, as one of the world’s fastest efficient turbo prop aircraft, it is ideal for expanding our scheduled route network further into Continental Europe.
“The aircraft will also be utilised on private air charter services for blue chip organisations and groups travelling within the UK and Europe.”
Eastern Airways has been operating 50 seat Saab 2000 aircraft since 2004.
The airline predominantly provides high frequency services to cities offering flexibility to business travellers, enabling day return journeys.
