Program Supports All Phases Of Aircraft Life Cycle
Fokker Services introduces its new life cycle support program
for the Fokker fleet Monday at the Dubai Airshow. The program,
called FLYFokker, consists of cost-effective aircraft and service
solutions for start up, mature and phase-out operators.
“At Fokker Services we are dedicated to keep Fokker
aircraft in continued competitive operation”, says Erik
Goedhart, Vice President Marketing & Sales: “Now, with
FLYFokker, we put in the extra mile to combine existing services
with latest innovations developed with our strategic
partners.”
FLYFokker comprises a package of four solutions: Take Off, Take
Care, Take Over and Take Next.
Fokker says the "Take Off" phase will help operators get their
aircraft flying in six weeks instead of typically six months. For
established Fokker operators, the company says "Take Care" is
intended to increase technical dispatch reliability (TDR), reduce
direct operating cost (DOC) and improve passenger comfort.
Operators moving to other aircraft types are supported by Fokker
Services in the Take Over phase, which is targeted towards the
continued competitive operation of their Fokker fleet. The fourth
solution is a package for a mean and lean transfer of aircraft to
the next operator, called Take Next.
FLYFokker has been developed and used by Fokker's key customers
and strategic partners. Among the key customers are the operators
KLM Cityhopper, Portugalia and Austrian Airlines. Participating
major vendors include such as Messier Dowty, Goodrich, C&D
Zodiac, Eaton Aerospace, Piedmont Aviation Component Services, and
engine OEM’s like Rolls-Royce and Pratt and Whitney
Canada.
