Saab AB Saab 2000 Charter: Price, Booking & Online Instant Quote

The Saab 2000 is a high-speed twin-turboprop airliner manufactured by the Swedish aircraft company Saab.Although its primary role was in regional airline service, its speed and capacity could make it suitable for specific charter operations catering to larger groups seeking quicker regional travel than typical turboprops. It is important to note that it is not typically marketed or used as a traditional "business jet."  

Here's an overview of the Saab 2000 for potential charter considerations:

Key Features:

• High Speed for a Turboprop: The Saab 2000 is known for being one of the fastest turboprop airliners ever produced, with a maximum cruise speed of around 665-685 km/h (approximately 413-426 mph or 359-370 knots). This allows for quicker travel times on regional routes compared to many other turboprop aircraft.  
   
• Passenger Capacity:The aircraft is typically configured to seat between 50 and 58 passengers, making it suitable for larger groups. Some configurations for charter might offer slightly different seating arrangements with enhanced comfort.  
   
• Range: The Saab 2000 has a range of approximately 2,868 km (1,782 miles or 1,549 nautical miles). This allows it to cover significant regional distances.
• Cabin Dimensions: While designed for airline use, the cabin offers reasonable space:
  • Cabin Length: Approximately 16.68 meters (54.7 feet) (can vary slightly).
  • Cabin Width: Approximately 2.16 meters (7.1 feet).  
     
  • Cabin Height: Approximately 1.82 meters (6.0 feet).
• Engines: Powered by two Rolls-Royce AE 2100A turboprop engines, providing substantial power for its speed and size.  
   
• Short Field Performance:The Saab 2000 is capable of operating from relatively short runways, with a typical takeoff field length of around 1,200-1,300 meters.  
   
• Baggage Capacity:It offers a significant baggage capacity, which would be beneficial for larger groups traveling with luggage.  
   

Saab 2000 with JETVIP:

Given its capacity and speed, the Saab 2000 might be considered for charter by JETVIP clients in specific scenarios:

• Large Group Regional Travel: For transporting sizable groups (sports teams, corporate events, large families) on regional routes where the speed advantage over other turboprops is desired.
• Cost-Effective Group Travel: When compared to chartering a larger jet aircraft for a similar number of passengers on shorter to medium-range routes, the Saab 2000 could offer a more economical solution.

Acquisition:

Acquiring a Saab 2000 is less common for typical private jet owners and more likely for regional airlines or charter companies specializing in larger group transport. JETVIP could potentially assist clients interested in this type of aircraft, but it falls outside the typical spectrum of executive jet acquisitions.

Considerations:

• Cabin Configuration: Standard Saab 2000s are configured for airline-style seating. VIP conversions exist but are less common and would significantly impact the aircraft's availability and price.  
   
• Comfort Levels: While faster than many turboprops, the cabin environment and noise levels might differ from those of purpose-built business jets.
• Availability: Production of the Saab 2000 ceased in 1999, so available aircraft would be pre-owned.
