Piedmont Hawthorne has entered into an agreement with Saab Aircraft Leasing (SAL) to market Saab 340 twin-turboprops for corporate shuttle use. The Winston-Salem, N.C.-based business aviation services group will seek corporate buyers and lessors for the Swedish-built regional airliners and will also refurbish the interiors and provide maintenance.

The Saab 340s are being offered with 27 all-leather seats to make the cabins more comfortable than the standard 33- to 34-seat airliner configuration. Piedmont is now completing a demonstrator aircraft for the corporate-shuttle role at its Harrisburg, Pa. facility.
