AIRCRAFT BRIEF
The Fokker F28 Fellowship was a Dutch short-range twin-jet regional airliner that first flew on 9 May 1967 and entered commercial service with Braathens SAFE in March 1969. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Spey turbofans, it was designed to complement the turboprop F27 Friendship on thinner routes requiring jet performance, and 241 examples were built across four variants before production ended in 1987. The F28 served with over 60 airlines worldwide and directly led to the development of the more advanced Fokker 70 and Fokker 100.
