Historical Background and Use

The Beechcraft 1900D was developed in the United States by Beech Aircraft Corporation and made its debut in the 1980s (Cold War – modern times). The "D" model is distinguished by its characteristic, higher passenger cabin, allowing one to move around the interior while standing. This aircraft was widely used by airlines from countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, the Beechcraft 1900D also proved effective in transport versions and during military and rescue operations, e.g., in the U.S. Air Force or the Royal Air Force.

The plane was mainly operated between 1992 and 2002, although numerous examples remain in active service today in civil and state sectors. The Beechcraft 1900D is known for its excellent operational parameters and its ability to operate from less-prepared regional airports.
