C&L Aviation Group has completed the delivery of the seventh Saab 340B aircraft, on schedule, to Legends Airways, a Part-135 Air Carrier. Legends Airways, which has taken possession of all the Saab 340B jet aircraft, had initially received their first aircraft in mid-2021. There has been a positive resurgence around the globe in interest in the Saab 340 aircraft during this same period. C&L Aviation Group has sold over twenty Saab 340 aircraft, including the former fleets of JAC and HAC.
The Saab 340 is a versatile aircraft in either passenger or cargo configuration. This, combined with the aircraft’s superior performance in its class, makes it a popular aircraft for operators around the world. For over twenty-five years, C&L has been a provider of the aftermarket sale and support of the Saab aircraft. The company stocks Saab inventory in their globally located warehouses and provides a one-stop solution for operators at the MRO facility offering aircraft and engine sales, heavy maintenance, aircraft paint, avionics upgrades, structural modifications, engineering support, and interior refurbishment.
“In all my years dealing in the Saab 340 aircraft I have never seen demand for this aircraft at current levels. There has been a distinct increase in demand for the Saab 340B aircraft with both passenger and cargo operators. This has led to most parked Saab aircraft being restored to service,” said Chris Kilgour, CEO of C&L Aviation Group. “With so many customers asking for aircraft and there being low availability, the market dynamics have changed. Demand has outstripped supply, resulting in increased sale prices for the Saab,” he further added.
C&L Aviation Group is an FAA and EASA- approved industry provider in servicing, maintaining, and supporting operators in the corporate and regional aviation industry. In addition to aircraft and engine sales and leasing programs, C&L offers parts support, exchange and repair options, OEM product distribution, heavy maintenance, interior refurbishment, engineering services, avionics upgrades, aircraft disassembly services, and aircraft management.
