As you may recall I posted a question a few days back about the current status of KLM Cityhopper F100 PH-LMV.
http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=55562&highlight=PH-LMV
Today this question was answered better then I could have hoped for. It landed in front of me in full Malev livery! It still carries the Dutch registration, but it will be changed after delivery.
Apparantly this plane was traded in by KLM Cityhopper in exchange for one of Malevs F70s. This however is as yet unconfirmed.
The other AMS photos will follow in a seperate thread later today.

You git, :p 😀 .but they did say this last year
Malev (MA/Budapest) has announced plans to add Fokker 100s to its fleet replacing its CRJ-200s.
So it might happen one day.

Dont believe that for a minute. The CRJ-200 are smaller then the F70s. One of Malevs F70s was sold to KLM Cityhopper over a year ago (HA-LMD). Why would they have done that if they intend to get rid of the CRJ-200?
Also, why get a F100 when it carries double the amount of pax and a lot more freight then thr CRJ? It just does not make sense. In particular since Malev has a load of B737-600s in its fleet and seems to be happy with them. The ‘600 is a direct competitor to the F100 in size.
Hope it will happen some day, but am not holding my breath.

With 5 minutes to go before the day is over (in NL anyway) I suppose this is a good time to come clean. This was an april fools prank. The photo was carefully edited using HA-LMA as a basis with bits and pieces of an Transavia 737.
I still do not know the fate of PH-LMV. All I do know is that is has been moved from WOE to Schiphol Oost, the maintenance and storage area.
See you next year for another photo edit. Its becoming a tradition!

They already are a Fokker customer 😀

Nice. Malev occasionally use the F70 into DUB so perhaps some chance would could see it in DUB.
Its really does look ice and I love the F100 and hope to get a ride on one shortly.
