Malaysia Airlines Fokker 50 brief history

Malaysia Airlines first started to operate the Fokker 50 back in 1989 to replace their aging Fokker f27. Malaysia Airlines operated the Fokker 50 for short haul-regional flight to connect smaller airports in Borneo (east Malaysia) to a larger airport. Malaysia airlines operated the Fokker 50 with APU and was the first one to do so. The airline retired the aircraft in 2007, and gave them out to the airline's subsidiaries (MASwings and Firefly) before they retired the aircraft in 2011 aswell and replace them with ATR-72

Malaysia Airlines Flight 2133 (MH2133/MAS2133) was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Kota Kinabalu to Tawau, operated by Malaysia's flag carrier Malaysia Airlines. On 15 September 1995, the Fokker 50 carrying 53 people flew into a shanty town after the pilots failed to stop the aircraft while landing in Tawau, killing 32 of the 49 passengers and 2 of the 4 crew on board.
