To answer your question, yes they are still around. Beech 1900D Production summary | Airfleets aviation Most are overseas, but Silver and Great Lakes still have a full fleet of them. Silver is slowly starting to phase some of them out. Other companies like Era and Bering Air utilize them in Alaska. What other 19ish seaters were commonly in use? A quick wikipedia search shows Jetstream, Twin Otter, Dornier 228, Metroliner, EMB110. I know at least a few of these are now used by cargo companies. Maybe because boxes don't care if the plane is old, loud, and vibrates. So that's probably why they're unpopular with passengers. That and, as already stated, the overhead even for small operators is enormous. |

Get off your horse, your just another piece of LABOR in this industry. An over educated guy who loads boxes on a truck, or digs a hole at a cemetery. |
I made more in my aviation career before I chose the flying route than you ever will. Now I fly and still make good money outside of just sitting in a 1900. Life is good!
