Why I feel it is so important that a airline looking to cut Fuel costs must not only operate the most fuel efficient Jet Aircraft but must always include turboprop Aircraft in its fleet for Short distance destinations to further reduce Fuel consumption.

Turboprops Will save a Airline 40% in Fuel costs!!!

Silver Airways Operates a fleet of 25 SAAB 340B Aircraft.

Silver Airways is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, The Silver Airways fleet is comprised of over 25 Saab 340B plus aircraft (with a capacity of 34 passengers in a spacious, noise reduction equipped cabin), each powered by highly reliable, fuel-efficient General Electric jet-turbine propeller engines. 


Silver Airways is the largest U.S Carrier to operate to the Bahamas and has filed to more than 14 Cuban destinations. 

They operate the very Fuel efficient Saab 340B,  Silver Airways operates more daily flights to more points in the Bahamas. In its home State of Florida, Silver Airways serves more gateways with more daily flights than any other airline.

Silver Airways would be a perfect Fleet Addition to any Small Startup Like Eastern Airlines.
