Aircraft / Fokker 70
The Fokker 70 is a five-abreast, twin engine, medium range narrowbody regional jet airliner that was designed and produced by Fokker (Dutch: N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek Fokker; Royal Dutch Aircraft Factory Fokker) in the Netherlands. The Fokker 70 is a shortened version of the Fokker 100; both types were in turn based on the Fokker F28. The program was launched in 1992 and first deliveries began in October 1994.
Fokker encountered financial difficulties and went bankrupt in March 1996, ending production of the Fokker 70 in 1997 after 47 deliveries. Since the 2000s, airlines have been gradually retiring the Fokker 70, but about 30 of the aircraft remain in service with various airlines and carriers around the world.
