= New route Maribor-Klagenfurt-Amsterdam with Do328 or CRJ200 operated by Fly Eth 6x/week starting 15 January 2015 =
Fly Eth (Vienna) is set to commence operations out of Maribor, Slovenia on January 15, 2015 Austrian Aviation Net has reported. Using a fleet of two Do328-100 aircraft and "two or three" ex-Lufthansa CityLine (CL, Cologne/Bonn) CRJ-200 jets, the Austrian start-up hopes to operate 6x weekly flights to Amsterdam and Rome Fiumicino via Klagenfurt, Austria while 4x weekly services to Berlin will operate via Linz. Cologne/Bonn will also be served 6x weekly.
KLM and Air France have changed their W14 schedule for the route AMS-CDG-AMS, where KLM will reduce its operation to just 3xB737/daily and Air France will operate 9xA320/daily including a night-stop at AMS:
Xiamen Airlines recently has received its first B.787 and is planning to start scheduled services this year from Xiamen to Amsterdam.
The chance this will happen is now close to zero as the new W14 timetable shows only domestic sectors for both 787s for entire W14 season. The 787 will do both Fuzhou - Beijing and Xiamen - Beijing twice daliy. Both schedules prohibit any international flight to both Europe and the US. AFAIK their third 787 isn't due until Q1 2015.
Well, it didn't work out, but they tried: CityJet to axe flights from Cambridge
CityJet is to stop flying from Cambridge International Airport at the end of October. It is just four months since the airline began services to Dublin and Amsterdam from Cambridge. But CityJet says it has cut the routes as part of a routine review and may return to the region at a later date.
I wouldn't be surprised if MH would transfer 1 of the LHR flights to BA and use the A380 for it's AMS service. A good way to recover their damaged reputation.
B767-300ER wrote:I Mean the rumour that Malaysia will stop operating AMS
With a 90% loadfactor for the coming months and the fact that AMS is the European gateway, I'd say it's nonsense.
I doubt it's nonsense. The only capable aircraft for AMS besides the A380 is the B772, and the latter one will be phased out of their fleet. They already discontinued routes with healthy loads (LAX, FCO, etc.) so I wouldn't be surprised if AMS will be ended as well, eventually.
