About

The first Saab 340, certified as the SF340A while Fairchild was still a partner in the programme. Two General Electric CT7-5A2 turboprops of 1,294 kW, 37 seats, and a certified take-off weight that the certificate walks from 12,370 kg at approval to 12,930 kg through two modifications — which is where the 340B starts.
