Fokker News
Frans van Zelm    
Finally, your Fokker News has returned! The paper version could not be continued anymore due to various reasons but we have managed to start this section as part of the renewed AIRnieuws website. As you have noticed we are writing this section in English for obvious reasons since we are on the World Wide Web. In the near future we have plans to extend the subjects with more items like pre-World War II Fokker aircraft, F27 & F28 Operator Overviews, Crashes & Incidents, Specials, also Fairchild F-27/FH-227 and of course Pictures, recent and historical ones! The recently formed Fokker News crew (a team of six Fokker specialists!) are currently preparing several items and should be soon ready for publishing at this website!


In service with Amapola Flyg AB this SE-LJY (20259) is clearly showing the colours of former operator Air Central. Converted to E-class freighter at Denver without the large cargo door but with all cabin windows removed. (Ola Carlsson, Stockholm/Arlanda, 2 March 2009)

     Fokker F27, Fokker 50 & Fokker 60

The Indonesian Air Force has tragically lost their second Troopship A-2703 (10538) on 6 April 2009. While attempting to land the F27 flew against a maintenance hangar at Bandung Airport killing all 24 occupants on board.
This year KLM Cityhopper bv will dispose six Fokker 50's because of the economical situation and having sister company VLM around. As from 3 April PH-KXH (20249) left the fleet already with PH-LXK (20271) soon to follow. Later this year also the other four ex-KLM uk Fokker 50's will have to go.These are PH-LXJ (20270), PH-LXP (20276), PH-LXR (20277) and PH-LXT (20279).
Mass Holding bv (owner of several Fokker 100's) has obviously the intention to take over three Fokker 50's of Ocean Air Linhas A'reas, Ltda. Two Dutch registrations have been reserved on 13 January 2009 and one on 23 January 2009. The involved aircraft are PR-OAA, PR-OAB and PR-OAC. Currently PR-OAA has been registered as PH-KXN and arrived already at Maastricht for maintenance to be carried out by SAMCO.
Two Fokker 50's PR-OAW (20281) and PR-OAX (20296) of Ocean Air Linhas A'reas, Ltda are back with Avianca's fleet again and re-registered as HK-4581 and HK-4580. Both F50's flew earlier with Avianca as PH-AVH (HK-4481-X ntu) and PH-AVN (HK-4482-X ntu).
