Fokker Services has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Denim Air for an integrated services package for the support of its Fokker 50 aircraft.
The service package includes Fokker Services’ ABACUS Component Availability Program, as well as an expendables availability program (ExAS) and MRO services for propellers and landing gears.
The services are tailored for the support of Denim Air’s fleet of 5 Fokker 50 aircraft, which are currently operated in remote areas like Afghanistan, Nigeria and Albania. According to a Denim Air’s spokesperson, there is potential to add more Fokker 50 aircraft in this contract.
The 5-year contract shows Denim Air’s commitment to the operation of the Fokker 50 aircraft for the future.
