Fokker 70
Last updated: 2026-04-21
The Fokker 70 is the 80-seat shorter-fuselage member of the F70/F100 family, sharing a common type rating with the Fokker 100 and operated by KLM Cityhopper on thinner European routes. It is a workhorse of European EASA general-aviation training fleets, used at both DTO and ATO operators for hour-building and rating progression. undefined
What is the Fokker 70 used for in flight training?
F70/F100 common type training covers differences between the two variants, which are primarily limited to performance data and seating capacity. KLM Cityhopper pilots routinely operate both variants on the same duty, making the common type commercially valuable. Pilots holding the F70 type should monitor the aircraft's retirement timeline when planning long-term career trajectories, as the fleet is progressively replaced by newer types.
