NS has agreed the sale of its fleet of 9 Feeder 82A VIP shuttles to Solaris Space Lines in a 200 million zark deal. The shuttles will be demilitarised and given a light refurbishment before being handed over to the commercial carrier next year. The type will be withdrawn from NS service at the end of the month following existing timetabled programmes.
NS will not replace the type, as they already use Rome 46As for much of the VIP and general transport duty roles.
