Regional Express Airlines, also known as Rex has leased 25 Saab 340B+ aircraft in the largest lease deal for the type. The 340B+ has a redesigned extended wing to increase flight performance and fuel efficiency. With the delivery of the 340B+ aircraft some of Rex's older aircraft were phased out, including all of their Saab 340As. Three of the 340As were converted into freighters for PEL-AIR and one was kept as a passenger aircraft. The other four went to SprintAir, Solinair and SOL. First Delivery was in May 2007. The 340B+ aircraft with extended wingtips (formerly in service with American Eagle) were all delivered and put into service by May 2010.[1]
