Launched in November 1983, the Fokker 50 was designed as an enhanced follow-on to Fokker's successful F-27 Friendship. One enhancement over the F-27 was more powerful engines that delivered higher cruising speeds, better fuel economy and a greater range. Other improvements included updated avionics to decrease flight crew workload and small winglets to enhance efficiency.

Fokker declared bankruptcy on March 15, 1996 due to poor financial performance. The last Fokker 50 was delivered to Ethiopian Airlines in May 1997. Some divisions of the company survived. The space division became Dutch Space and was purchased n 2005 by EADS. The parts manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations were taken over by Stork N.V. (Stork Aerospace Group), while Stork Fokker remarkets existing aircraft.
