Air Niugini
is developing plans for substantial fleet renewal that also includes their
regional Fokker fleet. Initially it looked as if these were to be replaced by
modern and efficient turbo props, but now the airline also seems to be
evaluating Embraer E2 jets.
Alliance Airlines
secured a two-year extension of the charter contract for flights from Perth to
mines in Coondewanna and Barimunya with of F70 and F100.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has expressed concerns
regarding the stake that Qantas has recently acquired in competitor
Alliance Airlines.

In some countries it is not unusual that the remainders of a crashed aircraft
will stay at the accident site for many years. A good example is Safari
Express Cargo F27 5Y-FMM (10318) that was severely damaged on June 3rd, 2017
when it landed at the Garbarahey airstrip in Somalia. Two years later it is
still there.
(André Alders, Garbarahey, March 25, 2019)
More than eight years after its take-off accident, the wreck of Fly540
F27 5X-FFD (10530) was still in the dump corner of Nairobi-Wilson airport. The
airport authority wants to have it removed (see Fokkernews #19 of June 2019), so
time will tell when and how it will be disposed of. (André Alders,
Nairobi-Wilson, March 23, 2019)
Former VLM F50 OO-VLS returned home again on delivery from Malmö on 270719, but
for another operator and in a new livery. The Belgian start-up airline Air
Antwerp acquired it. This particular F50 was the last VLM aircraft leaving
Antwerp after VLM went bankrupt. The new airline is a joint venture of Cityjet
and KLM and is slated to start flying on 9 September 2019, from Antwerp to
London City in codeshare with KLM. Air Antwerp now has received its AOC and has
been allocated the IATA code WP, ICAO code ATW and radio callsign Devil. The
arrival of OO-VLS (20109) was on a rainy day (Wout Goossens, Antwerp, July 27,
2019), while the livery is much more expressive in the sun. (Gilbert de Herdt,
Antwerp July 29, 2019)
Skyward Express,
formerly known as Skyward International Airlines, is the largest Fokker operator
in Kenya. Many of their F50 are painted in the basic livery of Swedish Skyways
Express: white with a bright red tail and engine cowlings; also aircraft that
were acquired from other sources now wear this livery. 5Y-SMX (20122) has traces
on the fuselage that suggest a previous lease to an unknown operator, while
5Y-SMQ (20202) looks completely clean again, after it flew with Ocean Airlines
titles and logos in 2018. (André Alders; Nairobi-Wilson, March 21, 2019)
That not all Skyward Express Fokkers have the red livery proves this
picture of all white 5Y-JXJ (20232). (André Alders;
Mogadishu, March 24, 2019)
Somalian airline Jubba Airways operates two F50’s leased from Skyward
Express; both are in the full livery of the airline as this photograph of 5Y-JXN
(20239) demonstrates. (André Alders; Mogadishu, March 24, 2019)
