Why the Saab 340 Fits the New York Metro
Regional feeder work is its New York role. Newark out to New England or the mid-Atlantic with a light load is exactly what it is for, and its 785 nautical mile range covers that geography.
It is economical at the small end. When the freight is a pallet or two and the leg is under two hours, the Saab 340 costs a fraction of a jet freighter and still lands inside the working day.
It uses the shorter fields. Regional runways that will not take a 737 freighter are routine for this aircraft, which is often the difference between flying the cargo in and trucking it from somewhere else.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
