\u2022Fokker pledges support<\/p>\n

By Jimoh Babatunde &\u00a0 Daniel Eteghe<\/strong><\/p>\n

The General Manager of IRS Airline Mr. Yemi Dada\u00a0 has revealed that crew members of his aircraft will soon be assessing their documents\u00a0 in the cockpits electronically. He disclosed this recently in a chat with journalists on the reasons his company is sticking to the Fokker aircrafts which he said best suits the Nigerian domestic aviation scene.<\/p>\n

Yomi Dada said the airline has used the Fokker aircraft with good return on investment over the years as it cost less to maintain among others. In attendance at the press briefing were officials of the Fokker Technologies, makers of the Fokker aircraft series.<\/p>\n

IRS General Manager said the airline is preparing to modify all the aircraft in its fleet, Mr. Yemi said. This includes the modification which will allow the crew in the cockpit access their documentation electronically using the Ipad. It is one of the revolution available around to enable them\u00a0 carry\u00a0 their document. Yemi\u00a0 Dada said \u201cFokker Service has come up now with a modification that will allow the cockpit crew looks at their airway chart, their manual and so on, on the IPad in the cockpit. We are currently looking at the mode of implementing this and we will definitely do that to help modernize what we do. We will definitely be buying the modification, of course we will have to discuss with NCAA on some of the modalities for that.<\/p>\n

This is going to help move us a little to the next frontier in terms of electronic flight documentation,\u201d he said. Mr. Yemi Dada speaking on why his airline is sticking with Fokker products\u00a0 said \u201cIt was very easy for our crew to fly, manageability was wonderful. The landings you get from the F28, I think, is designed to give you a very comfortable landing. And so we grew the fleet of the F28 to four.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd going forward we found out that as our patronage continue to increase, we needed to also increase the capacity of what we had and of course we have enjoyed the F28, so naturally we turned to another Fokker product which is the F100. Moving from the F28 to F100, we continue to get benefits, such as a lot of savings on fuel, the ease with which the crew will fly the airplane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Fokker Technologies, makers of the Fokker aircraft series have said itis committed to a long time haul partnership with IRS airlines, one ofNigeria\u2019s indigenous airlines.<\/p>\n

The sales manager of Fokker Services Heino Van Der Laan said the company was in Nigeria for a long haul. He said \u201cIf you look at IRS, it operates the F100 with some flag carriers all over the world. I can assure you that these operators they have TDR exceeding 99.5%. We also need to make sure that all the parts are still available. So we have been doing that over the last 15 years. We guarantee you that up till 2030 and beyond\u00a0 we will support\u00a0 the Fokker product. We will keep the production in place. It is long\u00a0 time\u00a0 commitment we have with the Fokker product. So we really hope that IRS will continue the Fokker cooperation and maybe get a bigger air fleet for decades\u00a0 to come and we will be there to support the\u00a0 operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regional Sales Manager for Africa of\u00a0 Fokker Bart Guerten said his team\u00a0 was in Nigeria to work out an agreement in which IRS will\u00a0 participate\u00a0 \u201cin our cooling programmes when it comes to spares, and component\u00a0 repairs to make\u00a0 sure that IRS at all times will have excess, not only\u00a0 by our spares located in Nigeria but also by\u00a0 our central pool in Netherlands to all their critical aircraft components.\u201d<\/p>\n
