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.
Mr Schrempp's lieutenants believe the Asia Express, in which the European consortium is to hold 39%, would be even less competitive than the now-defunct Fokker100.
