Fokker announced it was developing the Fokker 100 simultaneously with the Fokker 50 turboprop in November 1983. The Fokker 100 is based on the basic F-28 airframe, with the most important and obvious change being the stretched fuselage. The Fokker 100's first flight occurred on November 30 1986, certification was awarded in November 1987 and the first customer delivery, to Swissair, occurred in February 1988. Swissair ordered 8 units of the aircraft and had two further on option, which it later took over as well. Swissair only flew the Fokker 100 for 8 years. After the fleet harmonisation on the A320 Series and the giving away of many regional routes to Crossair such a small plane was no longer needed in the Swissair fleet.
