In South Africa, Golden Wings took ownership of the Fokker 70 that was previously leased.

While no Fokker 50s were placed yet this year, two aircraft were converted to full freighters and delivered to Swedish operator Amapola .

Fokker Services does not sell nor lease Fokker aircraft. Rather, it facilitates placements by sellers and lessors through its FLYFokker program, in addition to providing comprehensive support to Fokker aircraft operators throughout the world.

At present there are more than 500 Fokker aircraft operational across the world. The Fokker aircraft have earned a reputation for advanced technology, comfort, operational reliability, low noise levels and durability. Many consider the Fokker aircraft among the best mid-size aircraft ever built.
