IBC gets Saab 340 bang for buck with Becker
The BXT6500 transponder series is a robust, cost-effective and ADS-B compliant transponder that is lightweight, durable and versatile. IBC has chosen it for installation across its Saab 340 fleet.

IBC Airways has selected Becker Avionics' BXT6500 series ADS-B transponder to retrofit its Saab 340 fleet. IBC is an FAA FAR Part 135 certificated air carrier based at Miami International airport focusing on reliable, cost-effective air transportation services to and from the Caribbean, Latin America and the US.

Director of maintenance Paul Diaz comments: “Becker Avionics provided the best value ADS-B upgrade package for our fleet of Saab 340 aircraft. Becker's BXT6500 ADS-B transponder was easy to integrate into our aircraft and required minimal modifications. Becker's onsite product support team was professional and effective.”

The BXT6500 transponder series is a robust, cost-effective and ADS-B compliant transponder that combines unique customer benefits, such as reduced size and weight, durable housing without ventilation slots or forced cooling, antenna diversity or single antenna configurations, digital interfaces, TCAS compatibility and special mission capabilities.
