HISTORY ASPECTS:
The American Eagle Saab 340B registered N389AE served as a vital link in the regional aviation network during the peak era of turboprop commuter service in the United States. Introduced to provide efficient, reliable transportation to smaller cities, the Saab 340B brought modern avionics, impressive short-field performance, and strong operating economics to the American Eagle fleet. N389AE became a familiar sight at hubs such as Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago O’Hare, and Miami, where it connected travelers to destinations that larger aircraft could not economically serve.
Throughout its career, N389AE helped strengthen American Airlines’ regional presence by operating high-frequency routes that sustained business travel, local economies, and community access to the national air transportation system. The aircraft’s comfortable cabin layout, known for its quiet ride relative to earlier turboprops, made it especially valued among passengers traveling short segments. Its durability and dependable service record contributed to the Saab 340’s reputation as one of the most successful regional turboprops of its generation.
As regional aviation evolved and jet aircraft increasingly replaced turboprops, N389AE continued to serve until its retirement, marking the end of an era for many frequent flyers who fondly remembered the sound and character of the Saab 340B. Its service stands as a testament to the importance of regional aircraft in building the modern American Airlines network and supporting essential air connectivity across the country.
This 1:200 scale model captures the charm and character of this classic regional aircraft, featuring crisp details, accurate proportions, and the iconic early-2000s American Eagle livery. A perfect collectible for enthusiasts, it brings the nostalgia of turboprop travel directly to your display shelf.
