The company that launched the Saab 340 into prominence in Europe will soon bow out of the turboprop flying business altogether, when Swiss International Airlines bids adieu to the last of its 50-seat Saab 2000s this month and embarks on a restructuring of its regional jet fleet that will also banish all nine of the carrier’s Embraer 145s by March. During that period, the airline will add another six Avro RJ100s, resulting in a regional fleet of 20 Avro RJ100s and four RJ85s.
