Fokker Services is pleased to announce that Air Nostrum, located in Valencia Spain, has decided to enter into a 10 year ABACUS program for its fleet of CRJ200, CRJ900 and CRJ 1000 aircraft.

With this program, Air Nostrum will enjoy the services provided by the ABACUS program for CRJ aircraft. Under this ABACUS program, Fokker Services will provide nose-to-tail component management for Air Nostrum’s fleet of (12) CRJ200, (9) CRJ900 and (10) CRJ1000 aircraft. The program will also cater for the 20 new CRJ1000 aircraft that will be phased in as of next year. Earlier this year Fokker Services launched the ABACUS program for CRJ. Now having signed up a well-known and respectable company like Air Nostrum validates this chosen strategic direction.
