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 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.
