Turboprop Rentals Remain on Even Keel
The seeming disposal of large number of Saab 340Bs is a contrast to the recent trend of shifting capacity to the more economic turboprops but the majority of types continue to enjoy stability. The placement of new orders by SAS has provided a fillip to the Dash8-400 and orders continue…

Rentals Continue to Benefit From Fuel Pricing

Turboprop Rentals Maintain Stability
The high price of fuel continues to benefit turboprop lease rentals. The renewed enthusiasm for the turboprop is largely based on their fuel economy; in a period of high fuel prices and relatively depressed yields, it cannot be matched.
