Beechcraft B1900D
A TWIN-ENGINE TURBO-PROP AIRCRAFT
General information
The Beechcraft 1900D is a twin-engine, turbo-propeller, pressurized aircraft.
Manufactured by the Beechcraft division of Raytheon (now Textron Aviation), the first Beech 1900 took to the skies on September 3, 1982.
Its exceptional reliability makes it a globally utilized aircraft for personnel transport, freight, or medical evacuations.
African advantage
The Beech 1900D was originally designed as a regional airliner. Versatile, it is also used as a cargo aircraft.
The 18 passenger seats and air conditioning ensure maximum comfort. The cabin allows for full standing height, offering a true airliner experience. It is also capable of operating in all weather conditions and on relatively short runways, including laterite or gravel surfaces.
Ideal for your journeys to destinations like Richard-Toll, Podor, or Matam, for example.

Performance
The Beech 1900D is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67D turbines, each with 1,279 horsepower, renowned worldwide for their reliability. The PT6 turbine ensures flight safety, dependability, and consistency.
The aircraft cruises at a maximum speed of 270 knots at 25,000 feet, making it perfect for medical evacuations from Africa’s most remote regions to neighboring continents such as Europe and the Middle East.
From our seat to yours
The cockpit features a weather radar, collision avoidance systems (TCAS 2), and enhanced ground proximity warning systems (EGPWS), ensuring pilot safety and excellent situational awareness.
The Beech 1900D also includes a spacious, separate luggage hold. It is ideal for the mining sector, where relatively large loads need to be transported between Dakar and other African countries.
