British cargo airline doubles Saab 340B fleet
Great Britain's RVL Aviation has added a second Saab 340B aircraft to its East Midlands Airport-based fleet, to meet the increasing cargo payload needs of the airline’s logistics customers. This is the latest in a line of new fleet additions to the growing airline’s capability.
The first Saab joined RVL in January and the second arrived from Sweden in March, following its freighter conversion. Both aircraft have been leased through Miami-based Jetstream Aviation capital, in the USA, which specialises in commercially operated regional turboprop aircraft.
Managing director Dave Connor: "Not only does the new aircraft add vital capacity for us as the UK’s pandemic measures are starting to ease, it also provides a useful back-up capability now that we have two of the same aircraft in the fleet." (ah)
