The Dutch government is preparing to spend millions on a new state aircraft after less than a decade with its current plane, the PH-GOV. Sources in The Hague report the existing aircraft will be sold due to KLM’s decision to transition its entire fleet from Boeing 737s to Airbuses. This change leaves the government without compatible maintenance and operational support for the Boeing. The early replacement represents a significant expense for the current Jetten administration. The decision stems solely from KLM’s fleet overhaul, not from issues with the PH-GOV’s performance. This situation has been described as an embarrassing and costly predicament for the government. The new aircraft acquisition will require a substantial budget allocation.
