Forum for all matters concerning Amsterdam-Schiphol airport (and control zone, including heliport). Customary language is Dutch, but English is also accepted.
- The advance Summer 2008 timetable currently shows the KLM B777-300ER to operate AMS-GRU-AMS, this may be combined with AMS-DXB-AMS for a daily service with the 2x available B777-300ER aircraft.
KLM plans the following long-haul changes for Summer 2008:
- Kilimanjaro/Dar es Salaam will see B777-200ER aircraft
- Osaka will be operated with B777-300ER
- Sao Paolo will be operated with B777-300ER
- Shanghai frequency up from 10x week to 12x week = B747-400M
- Toronto frequency up from 12x week to 13x week = B747/B777
Starting with the Summer timetable 2008, BA will operate its LHR-AMS-LHR flights from Terminal 5. Due to the improved flight connections of T5 BA will expand aircraft capacity on the route with a daily B767-300 service. The frequency will remain at 8x daily flights.
Article not in english: however it seems like Air Mauritius will come to AAS next summer! (this isn't old news is it?)..So finally another A340 operator at AAS
In another thread it was mentioned already (I think about the winter timetable), but this is the first ´evidence´ I see it might actually be true.
And indeed, it would be great to finally see some more A340s on SPL!
KLM to open new Swedish link to Linkoping in Summer 2008:
SkyTeam alliance member KLM is to open a link between Amsterdam and the Swedish city of Linkoping next year.
The carrier is to start the twice-daily service on 30 March.
It claims that it will be the first large international carrier to serve a destination in Sweden which is not one of the primary cities. Linkoping is about 170km southwest of Stockholm.
KLM will use Fokker 70 twin-jets on the route. Air France-KLM already operates to Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden.
