Gulfstream Int’l To Upgrade to Saabs
Gulfstream International Airlines has reached an agreement with Saab Aircraft Leasing to buy

Gulfstream International Airlines has reached an agreement with Saab Aircraft Leasing to buy six 34-seat Saab 340Bplus turboprops, the Fort Lauderdale-based airline announced in late October. It plans to deploy all the airplanes on its Florida/Bahamas routes, where they will replace 19-seat Beech 1900Ds.

Gulfstream took delivery of the first airplane last month and plans to integrate the Saab 340s into its fleet over a nine-month period. Each aircraft will stand subject to a period of inspection and certification under U.S. and Bahamian aviation regulations, after which Gulfstream plans to announce entry-into-service dates.
