FORMOSA AIRLINES OF Taiwan has ordered two Fokker 100s and two additional Fokker 50 turboprops to expand its domestic fleet. The two Fokker 50s will be delivered in September and October, and the 109-seat twinjets in December and March 1995. The aircraft will be used on routes from Taipei to Kaoshiung and Chiayi.
The carrier has delayed acceptance of its first Dornier 328-120s until 1996, to allow more time for approval from Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration. Formosa has ordered five of the twin-turboprop aircraft for short-take-off-and-landing flights from Taiwan's offshore islands.
