History: The SAAB 340 is a two-engine turboprop aircraft designed and initially produced by a partnership between Saab and Fairchild in a 65/35 ratio. Under the initial plan, Saab built the fuselage and fin, while also performing final assembly in Linkping, Sweden. Meanwhile, Fairchild was responsible for the wings, empennage, and engine nacelles. After Fairchild ceased production, wings were assembled in Sweden. Originally designated as the SF340, the aircraft first flew on January 25, 1983. Following Fairchild's exit from the aircraft manufacturing business in 1984, the designation was eventually changed to 340A. An improved version of the 340A, the 340B, introduced more powerful engines and a wider tailplane in 1989. The final version, the 340B Plus, incorporated improvements that were being introduced at the same time in the Saab 2000. It was delivered for service in 1994, featuring an active noise control system in the cabin, greatly reducing noise levels to passengers. The first ever 340B plus was delivered new to Hazelton Airlines in Australia in 1995. Another change from earlier models was the relocation of the lavatory compartment from the aft of the passenger cabin to just aft of the flight deck. This increased total available cargo volume as the original location intruded into the cargo bin area. The SAAB 340 typically seats 30, 33, 34, 35 or 36 passengers, with 34 seats being the most common configuration. The military variant is the Saab 340 AEW & C, which serves as an electronic surveillance aircraft. As of October 2005, there were 430 Saab 340's in service with 56 operators in 25 countries. In August 2006, a total of 361 Saab 340 aircraft (all variants) remained in airline service around the world with some 49 operators. Saab ceased production of civil aircraft in 2005.
