Gulfstream Intl (3M) expansion
 

Looks like they are getting someone's Saabs... Mesaba? Colgan? Eurobirds?

Continental/Gulfstream International Airlines is positioning itself to be the primary airlift provider to the Out Islands, investing $85 million in a fleet of Saab planes that will double its airlift capacity into the country.
The first of Gulfstream’s new Saab 340 30-seater aircraft, which will replace its 19-seater planes, is set for delivery in November, according to Jim Swieter, the company’s Senior Vice President of International Development. Another aircraft is scheduled for delivery every month thereafter for two years.

Mesaba, Colgan are the same.... They can have them, the Saabs we're getting rid of are outdated.

If they are 30 seat Saabs, they are A models. We got rid of the last of those from Mesaba back in 2005 (and they were junk then)

PenAir operates all of their Saabs in a 30 seat configuration - they need the extra space for cargo/bags. Crapper is up front, I believe, on their planes.

The Saab in the article is a B model that flies out of IAH for Colgan

Didn't they already get Brasilias a few years ago?
Wonder how much they will charge somebody to sit in the right seat of the Saab for 100 hrs?

Their FO academy ended after the acquisition that took place earlier this year.

Bimini island air?

AE has 20+ Saabs sitting in storage in ABI. Maybe they are finally getting rid of them?

Saabs are funny
