K5-Aviation of Germany has awarded a completion contract to Fokker Techniek in the Netherlands for its ACJ319neo which it acquired at the end of 2015.

The completion starts in May 2019 and is scheduled to be ready for delivery at the beginning of 2020. “Awarding Fokker Techniek this prestigious project was a logical continuation of the relationship we established through previous completion contracts,” says accountable manager Luca Madone. “We believe Fokker will again deliver on time and according to our highest expectations. The aircraft will have a modern interior with a focus on saving weight and will include the latest interior technologies.”

Fokker MD Jeff Armitage adds: “We are very proud to work on the first ever ACJ319neo aircraft offered for VIP cabin outfitting worldwide. It is a privilege that K5 selected our engineering and completion services once more.”
