The Dutch Government said it would offer $320 million in credits and financial guarantees to Fokker BV for development of a new passenger plane in a joint venture with the McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
Fokker and McDonnell Douglas, a major United States aerospace company based in St. Louis, announced 10 days ago that they had agreed to develop a new twin-engine 150-passenger jet, to be called the MDF-100, in a project that Fokker said could be worth $800 million.
Several major United States airlines have expressed an interest in the development of such an aircraft, which would be marketed as a replacement for the Boeing 727, the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and the Airbus A-320. Fokker said as many as 2,000 of the planes could be sold.

The McDonnell Douglas Corporation and Fokker of the Netherlands have invited Japan to join a project to develop a 150-seat medium-range passenger aircraft, Japanese trade ministry officials said.
The officials said Francois Swartthouw, Fokker Chairman, and Stanford McDonnell, chairman of McDonnell Douglas, asked Japan in talks here to join the MDF-100 project as an equal partner for production and marketing.
Japan, which has also been approached by the Boeing Company and Europe's Airbus Industrie with similar proposals, will make a decision on joining the venture later this year, they said. McDonnell Douglas earlier this year declined an invitation to join with European Airbus Industrie consortium to develop a similar medium range plane in Europe.
