aircraft will operate this routing 7 times weekly (weekdays only).
Niger Airlines
wants to acquire a new F50 plane for the transport of people and goods, pending

has decided to sell their F50 fleet, consisting of two airframes and will stay
in business.
World's largest Fokker operator Alliance Airlines (42 aircraft) has
announced the purchase of 14 Embraer 190 regional jets, formerly used by COPA
Airlines. Deliveries start in September 2020 and the Fokkers will remain the
core of the fleet for many years to come.
On 280720 TUS Airways advised that operations remain temporarily
suspended, due to the pandemic.
The new owner of Virgin Australia wants to rigorously standardize the
fleet to Boeing 737-800, meaning that 43 aircraft, including all 14 F100s, need
to leave the fleet.

On Batam island, in the Indonesian Riau archipelago, a Friendship was recently
seen, mounted on poles without any titles and missing engines and other parts.
It is 4R-EXH (10642) that operated until 2013 with Fits Air of Sri Lanka.

After its landing incident on November 2, 2002, when it overran the runway at

Mexican operator MAYAir had one of their Fokkers painted in a new color
scheme with a similar tail logo as their Dornier 228 fleet. It is not clear yet
which of the three F50s received the new livery: XA-UZN (20106), XA-UVU (20194)
or XA-UZG (20212). (MAYAir at Facebook, Cozumel, February 2020)
Riau Airlines
ceased operations in April 2011 and was declared bankrupt in July 2012. Three of
their five F50s were abandoned at Halim airport in Jakarta.
Later, PK-RAH (20142) was donated to the Indonesian Aviation Scouting Group 'Pusdirga'
and is now at the Wiladatika airport in Cibubur, south of Jakarta, adorned with
a bird head and Pusdirga titles. (d_aviation at Instagram, via Jacques Vooren,

Kenyan airline Fanjet Express has apparently leased one of their F50s to
Ocean Airlines, the flying nomads of Somalia, as 5Y-FJE (20200) shows their

C-FCRI (11043), C-FZCR (11054) and C-GKCR (11101). C-FCRB (11107) was also
present at a nearby location. (Taron Schouten, Saskatoon, August 16, 2020)
In our previous edition we suggested that SkyAviation might not have
taken up the registration PK-ECI for their F100 11328. Yet, it had been applied
to the aircraft. (fotografersha, via Jacques Vooren, Jakarta-Halim, September
2012)
The Albeda College for Aviation Services at Rotterdam The Hague Airport is constructing a
new building. In the interior an obvious imitation F100 fuselage is built up for
cabin staff training purposes. As we have no idea which airframe forms the basis
for this object, we welcome your suggestions.

has plans to turn it into a restaurant. Painting work has started for
