KLM Cityhopper Begins Fokker 70 Replacements

摘要

Dutch airline KLM Cityhopper recently started replacing its 26-strong Fokker 70 fleet. Initially, seven Fokker 70s will be replaced by six leased Embraer ERJ-190STDs adding to the 22 ERJ-190s that entered service between November 2008 and May 2012. It is part of an August 2007 deal that included 17 firm orders plus seven options - five of which were taken up in 2011. Parallel to the delivery of the ERJ-190S, the Fokker 70 fleet was expanded to 26 in 2008/2009 by the addition of five aircraft formerly operated by Air France subsidiary Regional.
