If serving smaller communities is key to your airline’s growth, the Beechcraft ® 1900D is the profi table choice. With turboprop acquisition and operating costs well below any regional jet, the 1900D helps you turn a profi t on shorter legs and smaller passenger loads. Plus, its large aft cargo door helps the 1900D carry passengers in front and revenuegenerating freight in back – a huge advantage when you’re providing more frequent service to rural locations. www.raytheon.com Keyword: beechcraft1900 Raytheon Airline Aviation Services, LLC A Profi table Departure. +1.316.676.1007 © 2011 Raytheon Company.
