The Fokker 70 is a narrow-body, twin-engined, medium-range, turbofan regional airliner produced by Fokker company as a smaller version of the Fokker 100. Both the F70 and F100 were preceded by the first jet airliner manufactured by Fokker, the Fokker F28 Fellowship.
Since its first flight in 1993, 47 aircraft, plus one prototype, have been manufactured. As of June 2022, 34 are still in active service with airlines and governments around the world.
Most Fokker 70 aircraft were delivered for service in Europe. Although the earlier Fokker 100 did moderately well in the United States with orders from American Airlines and USAir (which subsequently merged with American Airlines), only two aircraft of the Fokker 70 variant were delivered for service in the United States.
