I'm trying to come up with a list of commercial turboprops that are still being produced, and so far I only have 4:

Embraer EMB-120
ATR 42-500
ATR 72-500
Bombardier Q400

Are there any others?

I wonder if Raytheon/Beechcraft could be pursuaded to re-start 1900D production with a big enough order? After all, it is basically a super-extended King Air 350 with a stand up cabin, and even uses the King Air 350 tail (with some strakes added...). I don't know if the 1900D had a unique wing, though...but I doubt that Beechcraft destroyed the tooling.

Viking Air of Victoria just put the Twin Otter back into production. I think the last deHavilland model came off the line 30 years ago.

21 years (1988).

No disrespect 2H4, but how does the Avanti constitute a "Commercial" turboprop? Is it certified under Part 25 Transport Category rules?

Something in my "Commercial Turboprop" senses tells me that it falls into the same category as many other business jets/business aircraft-too expensive per flight hour to operate for self-sustaining scheduled air service Wink

Maybe you can open my eyes here, but I'm not aware of a single operator who is flying it under scheduled service...I know of several fractional ownership or NetJets type operations who have an Avanti or two, though... Smile

Is a commercial version of the current C-130J Hercules available, equivalent to the L-100 variant of earlier C-130 models?

The Spartan and Casa 295 are military only, but there are civilian versions of the C-212 and C-235, both of which are still in production.

Oh, no disrespect taken. I failed to see and/or comprehend that "commercial" caveat, that's all. I blame insufficient coffee intake.

The Beech King Air 200 is still in production with options for commuter interiors.

The Britten Norman Defender (and Islander with turboprops) is still in production I believe

Actually, HAL is delivering the structure for new Do 228s assembled in Germany.

That reminded me, together with TR i read today, Il-114 might still kind of be in production.

The last Q300 left Downsview on August 20.

She waggled her wings to say goodbye as she left.
