KLM to phase out its last B747 Combi on 25 October 2020. PH-BFW is airborne. Landing from Shangai is scheduled at AMS for 20h40 tonight. All access to spotters places will be locked, due to corona restrictions. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ph-bfw#25dd35f7 It's already dark at that mo...

Thanks for the info! I have the impression that Liège is gaining back flights: Uzbekistan, Air Bridge, more Qatars?, today again 2 x Ural Airlines, ... Cheers, OO-JFP LGG seems to get the Ural which used to come to AMS, but Air Bridge increased flights to AMS to sometimes 5 a day (though usually ar...

KLM opens a route to Zanzibar. Competition with Lufthansa Isn't it more in competition with TUI (which flies the same route once weekly)? I reckon they aim at the leisure passenger. Moreover, it will be intersting to see if Zanzibar remains in the schedule post-COVID-19 as airlines (this applies to...

Two diversions ex AMS today. Fist KL735 (AMS-CUR) returned to AMS sue to medical reasons. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/kl735#250a56bc And DL73 (AMS - ATL) just passed my house after returning to AMS whilst it started its Atlantic crossing https://www.flightradar24.com/DAL73/250aaf80

AMS is a completely different airport than BRU. KLM, Delta, AA and United has really lot of daily flights there. This you cannot compare with the not so many flights from BRU to the States Indeed, hence why it may work at BRU. The only drawback remains that if connecting times are higher, the conne...

What is "less eficient banking of flights"? Thx At present normally (thus without COVID-19) Skyteam would have 3 banks (10:00 - 11:30, 13:00 - 14:00, 16:00 - 17:30) for US departures at AMS. The morning bank departs from 10:00 - 11:00. If the connection time increases for these flights, then a morn...

Since BRU is only one of the few Star Alliance airports to get US preclearence it might open up opportunities for UA to expand at BRU. Instead of opening the 'promised' second EWR flight from AMS (!), and starting from that same SkyTeam airport a seasonal SFO route. This was/is a slap in the face f...

New twist in 737 MAX saga: American Airlines has threatened to cancel some of its orders for the troubled jet. Back in 2011, American's push for a new fuel-efficient narrow-body jet prompted Boeing to develop the MAX in the first place. American Airlines told Boeing it will not take delivery of 17 ...

United 787-10 UA2811 just diverted back to AMS.

What about coming back to SN. No comments on the decision of the General Assembly to approve the deal between Berlin and LH ? So far no reaction from the Belgian government. Why would the Belgian government comment? Though LH now has a package, we still don't know why Thiele changed his mind. Moreo...

Rescue package for KLM is approved by the Dutch government https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/air-france-klm-group/klm-royal-dutch-airlines/klm-secures-financing-of-eur-3-4-billion-to-weather-the-covid-19-crisis/ Moreover, according to some news outlets, KLM will communicate the restructuring (aka j...

Not the Dutch government. KLM was set up by 8 business persons.

On top, they not only demand nationalization of Brussels Airlines, but also nationalization of Brussels Airport. How much taxpayers' money we're gonna need to get the remaining 75%? Brussels Airport Company nv/sa: own assets 809M of which 640M invested capital, turnover/revenu 593M, average yearly ...

Personally, it's not relevant to me what the background of those people is, nor am I interested in their point of view because in a few months, all airlines will be either bankrupt of nationalized, whether me, you and anyone else like it or not. You'll be surprised how many airlines will cope with ...

There were also Air Mauritius flights to AMS but if I remember well, they dropped it. So it is a good move to attract Duch and French people together with Belgians. Belgians has also property, hotels, there. Ex sabeniens KLM and Air Mauritius did indeed fly from AMS (KL in the Winter, Air Mauritius...

In any case, there has to be a deal on MONDAY and not a day later. All these rumours about bankruptcy are deadly for the image of SN (or any company in this situation). No one is going to book a flight with an airline that 'seems' on the verge of bankruptcy. This uncertainty has to stop now . Nothi...

No need to be an aviation specialist to consider what is good for the economy of a country and the international trade asset of this country, better be an economist. For for the profitability of an airline, it's better to have aviation specialist. But in the case of the nationalization of an airpor...

At this very moment when all airlines have very reduced flight schedules and will probably not go back to "normal" until quiet some time, 24 slots and the flights which go with it are nothing for LH. It's the future, of course, which bothers them. Especially, if I understood correctly, that these s...

I've never understood the Luanda situation. Luanda seems to be a high yield, oil related destination, with up to 3 weekly rotations.Duke AFAIK Luanda was/is high yield, but also high costs. Not many crews stay overnight (KLM flew to LAD, remained on the ground for 10 -15 hours and the same crew fle...
