KLM eyes E-Jet and MRJ90 to succeed Fokker 70

摘要

Dutch flag carrier KLM is planning to decide by the end of this month how to replace its Cit-yhopper subsidiary's Fokker 70 regional jet fleet. The SkyTeam carrier is evaluating Embraer's E-Jet family and Mitsubishi Aircraft's MRJ90 regional jet as potential successors to the 80-seat aircraft, but is also considering an order for Bombardier Q400 tur-boprops, says Cityhopper managing director Boet Kreiken.
