History

The P variant was the most commercially successful Bandeirante, entering service in the late 1970s and becoming a staple of commuter operations in Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Africa. Its combination of reliability, economy, and good short-field performance made it attractive to small carriers.

Variants

The P1 variant followed with improved certification for single-pilot IFR operations; both remain the most numerous Bandeirante marks.

Where you'll see it

Operated by dozens of commuter carriers worldwide including Air Midwest, Regional Airlines, and numerous Latin American operators; some examples remained in service into the 2010s.
