has signed a contract with long-term customer K5-Aviation for the first ever

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
