abstract:The Fokker 100 is a medium size twin-turbofan airliner from Fokker. Low operational costs and scant competition in the 100-seat short-range class led to strong sales when it was introduced in the late 1980s, but sales fell as competition increased.
The person arrested in France is believed to have been one of eight robbers who sped onto the tarmac of the airport on the evening of Feb. 16 disguised as police and stole 120 packages of diamonds from a Fokker-100 jetliner bound for Zurich.
