Utfasering F-50 KLM

[Beechdriver]

Denne interne mailen fikk jeg i dag (utfaseringen er avsluttet senest 1 oktober 2010):

As of the 1st of April 2009, two Fokker 50 aircraft, PH-KXH and PH-LXK, are stored in a “Fly away” storage at Nayak in Cologne (CGN). This is the start of the phasing-out program for the F50. One of these aircraft will be phased out during the summer and returned to the lease company, who owns the aircraft. Main reason for the “Fly away” storage is the decline in production caused by the economic down turn. A “Fly Away Storage” means that the aircraft remains in such condition that it could be taken back into operation within 24 hours. As a result, the number of F50 aircraft in operation will be reduced from 12 to 10. The 10 remaining aircraft will still operate 7 lines leaving 3 aircrafts as spare during a normal day of operation. These aircraft can be recalled when this is necessary for technical reasons.
