caption_attribution_description: Beechcraft 1900D (code T-729) of the Swiss Air Force arrives at the 2016 Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford, England. Manufactured by Raytheon Beechcraft in Wichita, Texas, USA. This aircraft was built 1997 and carries 18 passengers.
context_page_description: The Beechcraft 1900 is a 19-passenger, pressurized twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing aircraft that was manufactured by Beechcraft. It was designed, and is primarily used, as a regional airliner. It is also used as a freight aircraft and corporate transport, and by several governmental and military organisations. With customers favoring larger regional jets, Raytheon ended production in October 2002.
  The aircraft was designed to carry passengers in all weather conditions from airports with relatively short runways. It is capable of flying in excess of 600 miles, although few operators use its full-fuel range. In terms of the number of aircraft built and its continued use by many passenger airlines and other users, it is one of the most popular 19-passenger airliners in history.
