Skippers to get 3 Fokker 100s

[Jarden S]

Skippers Aviation (JW, Perth International (PER)) plans to introduce three Fokker 100s to its fleet for so called FIFO (Fly In, Fly Out) charter services flying resource company employees from and to work at Western Australia's numerous mining sites with private airports built just for this purpose. Skippers currently operates six EMB-120s, four Dash 8-100s and six Dash 8-300s as well as smaller turboprop aircraft on scheduled services and FIFO services in Western Australia.

So they will be the 4th airline to operate the F100 in Australia.
The others being Alliance, Skywest and Network.

Not a huge addition to the F100 fleet in Oz, but that will mean just slightly under 1/3 of the world F100 operational fleet is in Australia. And none flying to Sydney...

F70/100? majority are based in Perth too.

[Ryan Hothersall]

Any idea when these will come?.

[Jarden S]

Ryan, according to airfleets they have been in storage since 10/2009 and were used before that by Click Mexicana.

XKM arrived in Perth on 14/09/2013
XKN arrived in Perth on 19/06/2013

I believe that either haven't flown since arriving.

[Brenden S]

Both barely move. The 3rd one no one has heard anything about it.

Hi,

Can anyone solve the mystery of the two Fokker 100's XWM & XWN delivered to Skippers in Perth two years ago?

They appear to have been delivered then never another word of them

Thank you.
