The Dutch state confirmed that its government‑owned Boeing 737, registration PH‑GOV, will remain operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for a minimum of the next three years, dismissing proposals from Corendon and TUI.
Delivered in the summer of 2019 after an investment of €89‑92.7 million, PH‑GOV is configured for about 24 passengers with a VIP layout that includes a shower, Wi‑Fi and satellite communications, and it replaced a Fokker 70 to provide nonstop service to the Caribbean territories of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The government is planning to sell PH‑GOV and transition to a new Airbus‑based aircraft, likely an ACJ, after the sale.
