Fokker built several aircraft in the post-war period: F27, F28, F50, F100 and F70. Of these, Fokker F70 proved to be the best in the group. Although Fokker only built 48 of F70 aircraft before it went bankrupt, these aircraft proved to be very reliable.

With the last KL1070 flight, which was on the London Heathrow route to Amsterdam Schiphol, the Fokker era ended at KLM. However, the connection between Fokker and KLM will always last.
