Developed from the Beechcraft Super King Air, the model 1900 regional airliner became one of the most popular 19-passenger airliners in history. First flown in 1982, 695 were produced over a 20 year period. Featuring a stand-up cabin, the 1900D is the most popular version of the airliner with 439 built. With the market favoring larger regional jets, Raytheon ended production of the Beechcraft 1900 in October 2002. Canadian regional airline Pacific Coastal Airlines operates 11 of these Beech 1900 aircraft in their fleet.
