A new Fokker 70 operator!

It does not happen very often nowadays that we can report on a new Fokker airline, so we are happy to announce a new Fokker 70-operator. On 10 November, i-Fly Air from Kenya took delivery of Fokker 70 5B-DDF (11562), which is now registered as 5Y-IFA. The aircraft was ferried from Woensdrecht to Nairobi and saw stops at Luxembourg and Cairo.

It has previously been operated by Tus Airways, between February 2018 and December 2019, and before that with KLM cityhopper as PH-KZB, between February 1996 and October 2017. Originally, this Fokker 70 was destined for Malév and later Sempati Air but that never happened.

i-Fly Air launched in February this year and is currently flying domestic routes only from its base at Nairobi-Wilson. Until now, the fleet consisted only of Fokker 50 5Y-IFL (20151).
