The following is a list of past and present operators of the Fokker F28 including Fokker F28-0070 (Fokker 70) and Fokker F28-0100 (Fokker 100).
By 2019, no Fokker F28 aircraft remained in civil service (LADE mentioned below is organizationally part of the Argentine Air Force). Fly-SAX was the last airline operator of the F28 worldwide with the last aircraft in service stored in September 2019 due to lack of flight crew.
In late 2025, the World Air Forces publication by FlightGlobal, which tracks the aircraft inventories of world's air forces and publishes its counts annually, published the World Air Forces 2026 report. According to that report, there were no F28 aircraft in service in any air force (or other military unit) of the world. The World Air Forces 2026 report does not however list the aircraft of the LADE, and indeed Argentina, through LADE, is the last operator of F28 Fellowship aircraft.
The last 2 F28 aircraft in service (as of 2025) are operated by Argentina's LADE, an Argentinian governmental airline that is part of the Argentine Air Force (and thus variously classified as civilian or military or governmental or all of the above).
Civil operators Many of these air carriers formerly operated Fokker F28 aircraft. Fokker 70 and Fokker 100 former operators when known are included as well.
