Welcome to watch another flight video / Trip Report! Today we’re flying with one of Nyxair’s SAAB 340B turboprops. (HEL-JYV). The SAAB regional aircrafts (2000 and 340) are slowly becoming a rare sight so it was nice to be onboard! Of course it was a bit more noisy than modern jets but that’s just nice little detail. The snowy weather… well the heavy winds literally rocked this small plane in takeoff and even more during landing…

Nice report man!
Great report! I was the first officer on this flight, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Nice Estonian company! 🙂
Dude Nyxair looks like western air lol
I flown from Boston to Long Island in a Saab 340 ufff… 27 years ago, it was a pretty nice fligth. I prefer small planes than bigger ones, you better feel the ride.
Reminds me of flights I took on de Havilland DH.114 Heron and Hawker Siddeley HS 748 in the 1960s.
That was a nice trip report on a nice plane, Like 👍
The age of the aircraft is totally irrelevant so long as it is adequately maintained.
Saab 340 was a great pilots machine. I flew one in arctic trips and one of my last legs was to a runway 31 with winds 360/37G48. It doable. Solid arrival. No passenger complaints. Just happy to make it home
Have flown 30+ times BMA- VBY with 340's. Fine aircraft, now retired in favour of ATR72. Admittedly more comfortable and quiter but not the same feeling….
Kiitos. 🏝
Saab 340 my 2nd favorite plane behind the DC – 9.
