Saab 340

Having recently flown on a Saab 340, I had forgotten that it was quite a bit roomier than I had remembered.

In any case I got to wondering…..the 340 has been a huge success story for Saab and is still very common in the United States (at least American and Northwest still use it), but what about elsewhere? Is it as common in other continents? Are any other of its competitors as common as the 340?

How many 2000’s are left and who are their major operators?

Anyone have any personal opinion (either positive or negative) of the 340?
