The civil aviation authorities of Kazakhstan have given Bek Air 6 months’ time to resolve the safety issues that led to suspension of the airline’s operators certificate after the F100 crash in December 2019.

 The Kazakh CAA has definitively revoked the operator’s certificate and certificates of airworthiness from Bek Air, as a result of the F100 crash in December 2019.

The Swedish government has contracted Amapola Flyg for operating five subsidized domestic routes, to be flown with their F50 fleet.

In January 2015, the Italian CAA ordered Miniliner to end operations due to financial difficulties and the Fokker cargo fleet was then stored at Bergamo. After more than 5 years, the fuselage of their Friendship I-MLHT (10382) was torn to pieces by South East Aviation Services and sold for metal recycling. So, this F27 was not exported, as we already supposed in Fokkernews #24. Not the best picture, but the intention is obvious.

After the demise of Sky Aviation in 2012, its five F50s were stored and never found a new user. In late 2019, the fuselage of PK-ECG (20254) was noted at a scrap yard in Marunda, North Jakarta. Also part of a wing of PK-ECH (20255) can be seen on the photo (Tri Susilo at CNBCIndonesia.com, Marunda, November 2019)

The cockpit section of Aerolineas Argentinas F28 LV-LOA (11085) functions as an eyecatcher in front of a repair shop in Belén de Escobar, Argentina. The right-hand side is painted yellow and carries the national flag, the other side is green, yellow and red after it served as a bar in a Bolivian community center.

 The derelict fuselage of Gatari Air Fellowship PK-HNN (11119) was seen dumped in a scrap yard near Bogor, south of Jakarta. The special color scheme from its time with Citilink (as PK-GFS) is still clearly recognizable. (Muhammed Sabki at CNBCIndonesia.com; Bogor, April 4, 2019)



 After some months of storage at home base Larnaca, two TUS Airways Fokkers were ferried to Groningen-Eelde for maintenance and further storage until they can be sold no a new owner: one F100, 5B-DDE (11427) and one F70, 5B-DDA (11536) (Jaap Niemeijer and Menno Molenaar, Eelde, April 16, 2020)





 As the two Fokkers mentioned above are no longer operated by TUS Airways, the lessor had them re-registered in Guernsey, as many leasing companies do nowadays. The F100 is now 2-BDDE (11427), whereas the F70 carries 2-BDDA (11536). The Guernsey registrations were applied April 21, 2020.
