Summary
Two Dutch airlines, Corendon and TUI, are pitching a bold alternative to the government’s plan to spend $100 million on a new presidential jet: they’ll take over operating and maintaining the existing Boeing PH-GOV for far less. With KLM shifting to Airbus, it can no longer handle royal and cabinet flights, creating a gap Corendon says they can fill. Founder Atilay Uslu challenges the government’s claim that only KLM meets safety standards, insisting the current plane can fly for another 20 years—and that his team can run it more cheaply. The proposal aims to slash taxpayer costs while keeping the nation’s top officials airborne.
