K5-Aviation and green aircraft completions, conversions and refurbishment specialist company Fokker Techniek have signed a contract for an Airbus ACJ330 widebody VIP completion.
This is the first-ever widebody VIP completion for Fokker Techniek and the company is looking forward to showing the market that Fokker Techniek can handle widebody conversions.
“It’s really the next level and we are very honoured that K5-Aviation has entrusted us with this prestigious project,” said Roland van Dijk, co-CEO of Fokker Techniek. “We have started preparations and will soon implement more changes to the company in order to keep up with the continuous growth in our aircraft completions and conversions segment. Our order book demands additional workforce and an increase of in-house activities.”
Erik Scheidt, managing director and pilot at K5-Aviation, said: “We appreciate the direct lines with the knowledgeable engineering and production people, plus their hands-on way of working. The whole project team is focused on delivering a great end result. We have been accustomed to their skills in previous projects and will need the same during the ACJ330 outfit.”
Luca Madone of K5-Aviation noted that Fokker Techniek and K5-Aviation have a rich history of past projects and this new contract is a continuation of that relationship.
“We fully believe in the strengths of Fokker Techniek,” he said. “This agile organisation has proven its skills before and we expect the same again on this much larger aircraft.”
