The PH-PBA has been the pivate plane of the Dutch Royal Family and the Dutch Government from October
1949 till September 1970. It was replaced by the Fokker Friendship PH-PBF and went to the
Rijksluchtvaartdienst(RLD) for calibrations of the Dutch air corridors. In June 1995 donated to Aviodome
aviation museum, Amsterdam. Till September 1997 it was a static aircraft at the entrance of the museum.
The Dutch Dakota Association(DDA) has restorted the plane for many years and today it flies in its old glory
again.

The Dutch government decided a few years ago to replace the outdated Fokker F-70. This aircraft was too
small and could not directly fly to all overseas territories within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In accordance
with European law, a tendering procedure was started on which no valid offers were issued. Then it was
decided to start an exclusive negotiation procedure with Boeing that could meet the requirements. This
resulted in an order for a Boeing 737-700NG BBJ which will be delivered for 92.7 million Euro. Fokker
Technologies will install a luxurious interior with 24 seats. Members of the royal family, politicians and other
officials who will use the Boeing, have 12 seats in the VIP area. The other chairs are meant to be for
accompanying staff members. The PH-GOV will be in service during 2019.
