With the contract between FlyBe and Loganair ending in the Autumn of 2017 Loganair are identifying themselves more dominantly by changing the aircraft livery on their fleet of 22 planes the firs to be completed has just arrived in Inverness and is ready to go straight into service for paying passengers this Saab340B is certainly eye-catching and is expected to be very popular around the many airports both on the mainland and within the various islands within their schedule. The Saab 340 is a Swedish twin-engine turboprop aircraft designed and initially produced by a partnership between Saab AB and Fairchild Aircraft in a 65:35 ratio. Under the initial arrangement, Saab constructed the all-aluminium fuselage and vertical stabilizer along with final assembly of the aircraft in Linköping, Sweden, while Fairchild was responsible for the wings, empennage, and wing-mounted nacelles for the two turboprop engines. After Fairchild ceased this work, production of these components was transferred to Sweden.
