It played a pivotal role in providing essential air travel services, linking communities and supporting regional economies. The SF-340 was particularly favored for its spacious cabin, accommodating up to 34 passengers comfortably, and its ability to operate efficiently from shorter runways, enhancing accessibility to remote locations.
