Insights

Aviation History

The Fokker 100 is a Dutch twinjet introduced in the 1980s and was the largest jet built by Fokker before they ceased aircraft production. It saw widespread operation in regional airline fleets, especially in Australia and Europe.

Fleet Rarity

Alliance Airlines is now one of the world\'s largest operators of this increasingly rare model.

Record Flights

No specific record flights, generally used for regional and FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) operations in Australia.

Safety & Events

Generally safe, with rare but notable landing gear and engine incidents; Alliance Airlines is one of the largest current Fokker 100 operators.

Future Outlook

Most Fokker 100s are being retired or used in secondary/regional markets, with increasing fleet attrition expected in coming years due to age.
