Most of it is hidden behind a "pay-wall" unfortunately.
It concerns Transylvania International Airlines.

In short, the article is about TIA who are sueing Fokker, because the manufacturer does not want to supply them with the paperwork that usually comes with the aircraft. Fokker fears (and according to their lawyer has proof) that TIA is a cover for some kind of operation that sells aircraft and/or parts to Iran, which is against the international trade restrictions. According to the article Fokker has had to pay millions of dollars to the US government before, because at least seven Fokkers (ex-KLM) were sold to a Georgian company and ended up in Iran.

Thanks for the translation!

At least not a "machine-translation" like the one thru

Yes, the Dutch-language

has appeared from behind the "pay-wall".

Seems like Fokker have won: http://www.nu.nl/ondernemen/3976014/fok ... geven.html

In short: the court thinks it's plausible that de Fokkers would be transferred to Iran. Thus, Fokker has the right to not hand over the paperwork. However, this case could still be taken to a higher court.
