Niger Airlines
seems to have bought two F50s, replacing the two that were on long-term lease
from Palestinian Airlines. One is 5U-NAA (20313) that recently underwent
maintenance in Sweden, the other is still not identified.
Virgin Australia Regional Airlines
will retire its entire F100 fleet (still 10 in operation) and replace them with
larger and more fuel-efficient Boeing 737-700s. A time schedule was not yet
announced.

In Fokkernews 44 we reported on former Miniliner F27 I-MLRT (10377),
which was being transformed into a luxury hotel suite. This project has now been
finished and the suite recently opened for guests. The aircraft is externally
freshly painted in white with titles and logo; notably the name of the hotel is
painted on top of the wings. (Naturooms.com; Brembate di Sopra, February 2022)
The world’s oldest F50 still in active service is 5Y-DDI of Silverstone Air
Service (20103). It was one of the first F50s converted to freighter and as
common in East Africa. (André Alders; Juba, 11 April 2022)
One of the newest F50 operators is Orient Aviation Services that flies
with 5Y-SKN (20110) out of South Sudan since December 2021. This aircraft has
titles and a nice tail logo. (DS Aviation on Facebook; Juba, 14 December 2021)
A second new airline with home base in Juba is Aerojet Aviation Limited,
that is operating 5Y-RNG (20120), which also sports a full livery.
(André Alders; Juba, 12 April 2022)
Another new operator in South Sudan is still unknown to us. On F50 5Y-JJJ
(20124) they have applied large titles with their telephone number and the
aircraft also carries a small tail logo. Who has more information on this
airline? (André Alders; Juba, 12 April 2022)
Kush Airlines
has applied a new livery, but no titles, to their F50 D6-MOH (20129), which
until recently still had the tail colors of Australian Skywest Airlines. (André
Alders; Juba, 12 April 2022)
Renegade Air
cargo F50 5Y-JWB (20197) has a large green cargo door with ‘Fokker 50 Cargo’
titles on the left-hand side (see Fokkernews 48), while the right-hand side is
all white. (André Alders; Juba, 13 April 2022)
On 27 March an F50 with Karun Air titles was transported from Ahwaz
airport to a new location in front of a shopping mall in Ahwaz, Iran. It was
towed through the city on its own wheels, but without wings. The aircraft, which
sports the unofficial registration EP-YPZ, appears to be former EP-NFD (20234)
and was bought from Aria Airlines in 2015, but never actually flew for Naft or
Karun Airlines; it was only used for spares. As there is insufficient space at
the shopping mall it is believed that the wings will not be reattached. (MohammadReza
Zeinloo; Ahwaz, 28 March 2022)
Technical issues delayed the delivery flight of Niger Airlines 5U-NAA
(20313) back home after heavy maintenance with Amapola Flyg in Malmö. This
provided a welcome opportunity viewing the aircraft in daylight during an engine
test. (Carsten Lundsten; Malmö, 29 March 2022)

PK-MFV |
Merpati. Back in November 2020, Merpati Maintenance facility donated an
as yet unidentified F27 to the museum of the Indonesian Naval Aviation
Service (TNI-AL), their neigbour at Surabaya-Juanda airport. The
all-white Friendship is parked on the platform and is visible on Google
Earth (-7.383654, 112.781468). Also an F27 fuselage was donated, which
is unidentified as well. TNI-AL ordered 3 F27s in 1979, but the order
was cancelled for political reasons. One F27 has been in Navy service
for 2 months, on lease from the Indonesian Air Force. We have some
indications that the donated aircraft involved might be PK-MFV, but need
confirmation. |
