Air Berlin in april weer terug op Schiphol

29-09-2008

BERLIJN - De Duitse prijsvechter Air Berlin keert Schiphol niet definitief de rug toe. Het bedrijf staakt 31 oktober de vluchten tussen Amsterdam en Palma de Mallorca, maar keert op 3 april 2009 weer terug. Dat maakte Air Berlin maandag (29 september) bekend. In de zomerdienstregeling van het volgende jaar vliegt de luchtvaartmaatschappij dagelijks van Schiphol naar het populaire vakantie-eiland.

Air Berlin zal vanaf april elke dag om 17:55 uur naar Palma vliegen. De retourvlucht vanuit Spanje staat voor 14:40 uur gepland.

De budgetmaatschappij houdt tijdens de wintermaanden een deel van de vloot aan de grond met het oog op de hoge brandstofprijzen. Die maatregel zorgt ervoor dat Air Berlin de komende winter niet van en naar Amsterdam vliegt.

On a different forum I found this;

==

Gulf Air is poised for a major expansion in the long-haul market, adding up to six European destinations to its network next year.

As part of its summer schedule for 2009, the Bahraini national carrier says it is hoping to launch flights to Amsterdam, Rome, Milan, Munich, Moscow and Warsaw.

However, the decision on whether to go ahead depends on the level of the oil price. At $100-110 a barrel, the company will launch three or four destinations, and then review launching a further two or three.

However, any rise in the cost of fuel beyond that level could limit the number of new destinations, or even lead to the whole expansion programme being postponed.

"We have to decide which markets have the potential to bring enough passengers to Bahrain," says Bjorn Naf, chief executive officer of Gulf Air.

Would certainly be nice to see them at AMS!

According this news item (in Dutch), Italian carrier Windjet would like to start flights between Forli (near Bologna) and Amsterdam from next summer. They will operate with 2 weekly A319/A320 flights. There are no details about schedules right now.

Hoe staat het eigenlijk met Kingfisher uit India? Niet al te lang geleden hadden ze hele grote plannen. Iemand misschien nieuws hierover?

[tonjochems]

Las onlangs een interview met de CEO van Kingfisher in Airliner World waarin hij expliciet vermeldde dat het verhaal dat AMS tot HUB gebombardeert zal worden niet waar is... Dus wishfull thinking..

Wishfull thinking of niet, het bericht gaat rond dat Kingfisher airlines (IT) op het randje van faillissement balanceert. Dit heeft men doen besluiten hun longhaul plannen voorlopig in de koelkast te zetten.

Daarnaast heeft men laten weten niet hun gehele airbus longhaul orderboek te zullen invullen.

Wie weet wat er in de toekomst nog zal gebeuren, maar voorlopig geen beweging richting Amsterdam!

Would be nice to see Brussels Airlines here again (well, they never flew here as 'Brussels Airlines', but you know what I mean). I'd love to fly to BRU, instead of take the car all the way there, or the train.

[rutgertijmen]

And what about Emirates? Some months ago they stated that they would come to Amsterdam 'if fuel prices would drop'. Any news?

[MD-11]

Op de website van Windjet staat inmiddels bevestigd dat de vluchten naar AMS (en BRU) doorgaan.

En inmiddels ook te boeken!
