On 261220 Montenegro Airlines ceased all operations. This was due to the
Covid-19 pandemic and the decision by the government of Montenegro not to
support the airline any longer. The government is working to establish a new
airline, provisionally called 2Montenegro. The new airline will start operating
the Embraer 195, probably meaning the end for the last F100. |

be liquidated and their two F50s sold. This is an update to Fokkernews 33.

Iranian domestic airline Karun Airlines, which is mainly flying for the
oil and gas industry, is offering its Fokker 50 fleet for sale. The six F50s are

One of the former WDL Aviation Friendships that was stored for a long
time at Köln-Bonn airport was transferred to Butzweilerhof a few months ago, the
historical aerodrome in Cologne. D-AELM (10450) will be on display there in the
vicinity of some old airport buildings which have a monument status now.
Hopefully the F27 will get some more color in due time. (Iberiachub on

Google; Neemrana, August 2019). The other is Mark 200 VT-SSC (10674) that has
retained the livery of Elbee Airlines. (School of Aeronautics at Google;
