Fokker Services Group

Earlier this week, we proudly announced that Fokker Services Group had been officially certified as an Embraer Authorized Service Center, enabling us to provide maintenance services for the E-Jets first-generation family from our Singaporean facilities in Seletar. This significant achievement has been celebrated by both companies. For FSG, it marks the deployment of a robust value proposition for Embraer and its customers in the region, while for Embraer, it strengthens their capabilities across Asia Pacific.

Recap of an inspiring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) week at Fokker Services Group For us, promoting DEI and upholding the highest standards in this subject matter are at the heart of our business strategy. For the second year in a row since signing the DEI Charter, facilitated by FME (the Dutch umbrella organization for technology companies), we came together to celebrate ‘DEI Week’. This annual event provides a shared space to communicate and promote our DEI policies, reflect on our DEI vision, and, most importantly, connect with our colleagues—while having a bit of fun along the way! Two standout moments from this year’s DEI Week: First, we were honored to welcome Marlou van Rhijn, a Dutch three-time Paralympic champion, also known as ‘The Blade Babe’. Specializing in the 100-, 200-, and 400-meter sprints, Marlou captivated the audience with her powerful story of achievement, determination, and success. Holding the world records for all three distances, she embodies the spirit of achievement. As a strong advocate for inclusion, Marlou shared her simple yet impactful perspective: "Of course, there are differences, but we should focus on what makes us similar, not on what sets us apart." She encouraged everyone to be more open and to think about how we can involve more people in what we do, as a reflection of the positive developments within the sports world. Meanwhile, Nathalie van der Valk, Director of People & Culture at FSG, participated as a panelist at the Vrouwen4Tech event, hosted by FME. The panel, moderated by Marguerite Soeteman-Reijnen, Chair of SER Topvrouwen, discussed the challenges, opportunities, and benefits of achieving greater gender equality within Dutch technology companies. The importance of this conversation was underscored by keynote speeches of the stature of Shefali Razdan Duggal, U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands, and Liesje Schreinemacher, former Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. DEI Week at FSG is a testament to our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued. Together, we continue to build a company culture that embraces diversity and drives positive change across the industry. #DEI #MarlouvanRhijn #Fokker #FME 

Boasting more than 100 years in aircraft engineering, Fokker Services Group is home to an impressive array of aircraft modifications, which consist of equipping and updating aircraft with the latest technology to comply with regulations, enhance safety, improve efficiency, and heighten comfort. Have you ever wondered what an aircraft modification project looks like, from conception and design to testing and commercialization? Wonder no more! Our process borrows significantly from the Design Thinking methodology – a holistic approach integrating all stakeholders in order to create user-centric solutions. With the customer in mind (typically, pilots or crew members who will operate our modifications), we sift through hundreds of ideas in order to find the one with that satisfying click that makes all the difference. Our creative process consists of 5 steps, which we invite you to discover navigating the infographic below, created with input from Masoud Sarwari, Manager Product Development at FSG. It visually represents the journey of these product ideas throughout the design funnel! #Modifications #Engineering #AviationEngineering #AviationMaintenanceTech #Fokker

Wrapping Up a Week of Global Engagement, with a strong presence at two major events on opposite sides of the world: the MRO Asia Pacific in Singapore and the RAA Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. Our enhanced value proposition for regional and local carriers was the common thread linking both events. At MRO Asia Pacific, Fokker Services Group announced being appointed Embraer Authorized Service Center from our facilities in Seletar, Singapore. Meanwhile, in Washington DC (USA), our team highlighted how our portfolio supports Fokker, ATR, Embraer, CRJ, Dash-8, B737NG fleets and more through our Exchange Component programs in the RAA, which is all about supporting the growth of the regional market in North America. By way of example, here’s a glimpse of our team at the RAA Leaders Conference, going the extra mile to meet customer expectations and build meaningful connections. As these events come to a close, we’re excited about the opportunities generated this week and look forward to continuing the conversations we started. If we didn’t get a chance to connect on-site, feel free to reach out to follow up on how we can support your fleet needs.

At Fokker Services Group, we’re driven by a passion for both the miracle of flying and, as any company with Dutch roots would be, the miracle of biking! Yesterday, during an unseasonably warm and sunny first autumn day, we hosted our “Rondje van de Zaak” event, which loosely translates to “one on the house.” This biking event wasn't just about the kilometers we covered—it was about building relationships, fostering relationships, and enjoying the stunning Dutch countryside together. Starting and finishing at our headquarters in Hoofddorp (the Netherlands), three different routes were on offer—27 km, 50 km, and 70 km. Whether you were on a city bike, e-bike, or a sleek racing bike, the enthusiasm was palpable. Despite the reasonable Dutch wind (a challenge in itself!), everyone pedaled their way through the romantic landscapes around Schiphol Airport, passing by serene lakes, charming countrysides, iconic canals, and even a few windmills. The best part? All three groups, despite their different routes, managed to arrive back at nearly the same time, where we all sat down together for well-earned drinks and bites. It was a brilliant day that truly captured the spirit of FSG —where we value both the work we do in aviation and the connections we build on the ground. If you’re part of Fokker Services Group or thinking of joining, keep an eye out for our next biking event. We’d love to have you along for the ride! 🚴♂️ #FSGOnWheels #CyclingCulture #MRO #AviationMaintenance #AircraftMaintenance
