Where Can You Fly the Saab 2000?

Video from the channel Starplanespotter about Saab 2000, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 14:11. Language: English. Video type: Onboard.

The video documents a round trip between Stockholm-Bromma and Malmö with Skåne Aviation aboard a Saab 2000, which the author presents as the airline's first commercial flight.

The author reaches Bromma by tram, since it no longer has airport buses, and walks through an almost empty terminal. On board he shows a seat with an engine view, ample legroom, a non-adjustable tray table, an airsickness bag and a safety card at every seat, and no seatback pockets. Coffee, tea and biscuits are served, and the lavatory, cramped, has a window. In Malmö some passengers stay on board during the roughly 15-minute stopover. The author visits the cockpit and talks with the first officer, Eric, who is glad the Saab 2000 is carrying passengers again and prefers it to the Saab 340, the shorter version.

According to the video, Bromma lost its main airline, which moved its flights to Arlanda, and became mostly a hub for private and business aviation with few passenger flights; its closure to build housing was even considered. The author presents the Saab 2000 as a rare aircraft that today can only be flown in Sweden or Alaska.
