Dutch maintenance, repair and overhaul company Fokker Techniek has secured the first VIP completion contract for the Airbus ACJ319neo, following its appointment by German charter operator K5-Aviation to design and outfit a re-engined narrowbody on behalf of its unnamed owner.
The airliner will arrive at Fokker's facility in Woensdrecht in May 2019 for redelivery in early 2020.
The ACJ319neo will join K5's fleet of managed, high-end aircraft, which includes three current-generation ACJ319s – two completed by Fokker in 2008 and 2016, and a third outfitted by Airbus in 2012 – and a pair of long-range Bombardier Global Express/XRS business jets.
K5 also has an ultra-long-range Global 7000 on order, scheduled for delivery in 2019.
Airbus says it has sold nine ACJ320neo-family aircraft to date – three ACJ319s and six ACJ320s.
The first example of the latter variant will be delivered to Swiss completion house AMAC Aerospace later this year, for redelivery to its UK owner, Acropolis Aviation, about 12 months later.
