Fokker has entered into a contract with Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd, COMAC, to convert the ARJ21-700 regional jet into a high end business jet.
Last year COMAC announced the first customer for the business jet variant of its recently certified aircraft for which the companies will now co-operate. The aircraft will mark the first Chinese built business jet.
The conversion will be developed by Fokker and COMAC in The Netherlands, while the final conversion and delivery center will be performed at COMAC’s manufacturing division, Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company Ltd (SAMC) in Shanghai.
Converting a regional aircraft into a business jet builds upon Fokker Services long time expertise in similar conversions of regional aircraft such as Fokker F28, F70 and Bombardier CRJ700.
