Some 30 operators are now evaluating executive and corporate shuttle versions of the Fokker 100 twinjet (the F100EJ and F100CS, respectively), according to Fokker Services–a subsidiary of the Stork group that bought the assets of the bankrupt Dutch airframer and is marketing the converted airliners at prices ranging from $11 million to $12.5 million. The airplanes are also available for lease through UK-based Aravco.
Platinum Jet Air of Calgary, Canada, is preparing to launch all-first-class scheduled services using a former US Airways F100 that Fokker Services has remodeled with 56 seats at a 40-inch pitch and a stand-up bar in the middle of the cabin. In airline service the aircraft generally operates with around 107 seats.
