Bek Air currently operates a fleet of 7 F100’s, but these aircraft are never seen in Europe. They mainly fly on domestic services in Kazakhstan, like this UP-F1014 (11322) that is already more than 27 years old. (Jan Swart, Astana, May 26, 2018)

After KLM Cityhopper ceased operating F70’s in 2017, many had thought that Fokker aircraft would become rare in the Netherlands. However, the current summer season brings a lot of different F100’s to the country.

Also Rotterdam-The Hague airport saw a F100 when Helvetic visited with their HB-JVC (11501).
