The completion starts in May 2019 and is scheduled to be ready for delivery at the beginning of 2020. This order comes in addition to the already contracted completions.

Luca Madone of K5-Aviation said, “Awarding Fokker Techniek for this prestigious project was a logical continuation of the existing relationship both companies have from previous projects.

"We believe Fokker will deliver again on time and according to our highest expectations. The aircraft will have a modern interior with a focus on saving weight and will include the latest interior technologies.”

Jeff Armitage, the company’s Managing Director: ”Can you imagine how proud we are, this will be the first ever ACJ319neo aircraft offered for VIP cabin outfitting worldwide.

"It’s a privilege that K5 selected our engineering and completion once more. We look forward to continue and extending our excellent relationship with K5-Aviation.
