Scottish regional airline Business Air is to add two ex-American Eagle Saab 340As to its fleet, bringing the total to ten. The airline wants to develop further its Manchester-based routes and take advantage of its new code-sharing agreement with Continental Airlines. Business Air, which recently became part of the Airlines of Britain Group, is to wet-lease the Saabs to British Midland, to replace two British Aerospace ATPs and a Jetstream 41 which are being returned to Manx Airlines.
