Does anyone know approximately how many of Mesaba's Saab's are coming to ATL? I've heard 2 to 32, but can't find any published info... And if it's closer to 32 where are they going to park them?

So far, it's been estimated to be 12.

Just to fly to Hilton Head?

Delta plans to open Saab 340 base at Atlanta hub


Here is the link to the story you're looking for. This is all that's been made public as of yet.

Where do you get your info from? 12 is almost 25% of our fleet. I have a real hard time believing that. The only way I can see this number is if there is significant downsizing at MEM.

Atlantic Aviation

delta has made nothing public about how many saabs will be put in ATL. The word from mesaba and its only "the word" nothing firm is that most of those saabs will come from detroit.... possibly. But nobody knows how many or anything else of that matter. The only time we will know is when Delta officially says how many or you go out and count them on the ramp yourself. There is just no way to tell yet.

That is the rumor I'm hearing as well... that most of the 12 will come from DTW, maybe a few from MSP, none from MEM.

Supposedly this is 2nd to 3rd hand from JR.

Where to park 'em? I'd start with the remote pads at E-Concourse..

How about the same spots on D that the 12 ATR's were parking?
