Alliance Downsizing fleet
 

On December 23, Alliance flagged two Fokker 100 and one Fokker 50 aircraft would be leaving by March 31 in response to the changing schedules of its customers and the volatility in the resources and energy sector, reducing its fleet to 24 aircraft by the end of 2014/15.

I think the process is technically called deFokking.

WA? SA? or QLD?

F50 will be ex ADL and the F100's will most likely be ex QLD.

VH-FKX (think it was X) has both the engines pulled off it outside the Alliance hanger at YPAD.

VH-FKY is the engineless F50 in ADL. Has not flown since 10-12-14

A Fokker 100 without engines loses about half its value. Those airframes are CHEAP.

Both FWH & FWI have been repainted in ALL WHITE livery.

Are these two aircraft due to be retired/stored/sold ?

They are going to be wet leased to a foreign airline or airlines.The other 2 will be stored as they both have maintenance checks coming up shortly.

So according to the paper a few weeks back 4 F100's will be taken from the fleet-2 wet leased and 2 stored.No mention of the stored aircraft regos?.

One heading north, any ideas ?
