Hi pietn,

The STOVL version is the F-35B.

Seb.

Hey, that's what I can call a new!!

Thx bits!

I've seen it in use on a B747, I think that door 1L and 4L were used than. Slight correction here: the photograph provided by heathrow clearly shows doors 2L and 4L :wink: . I don't think so, because the upper deck door on a 747 opens upwards instead of to the side. Thanks for your feedback. I comf...

8O

KL... + AF = a need for 80 regional jets (including options).

The 787 @ 8 abreast provides a 18.5" seat and 20.5" ailse, and at nine abreast a 17" seat and 18' ailse. Standard 747 10 abreast is 17.2" seat and 19.5" ailse, so very close at 9 abreast to the current standard. The problem is peoples are getting fatter and fatter. What was...

I remember hearing they allready ordered extra NG's (2 -800's I believe, not sure though).

Yes, as well as a B738 for Transavia. Check this link for more details.

Ontopic, KLM choice Airbus for the replacements of the Boeing 737-300 and 400 versions! KLM wil soon place an order for 30 aircraft: 8 A319, 14 320 and 8 321's! Why not the Boeing 737-800's?? :roll: Hi Levi, According to sources I consider as reliables, KL is about to place an order for wingleted B...

That recently was November 1st 2002 :!: On this day the merger between KLM UK and KLM Cityhopper was a fact. Regards, Erwin I do not deny this, but according to AF-KLM, some aircraft were still under KLMC UK, some were under KLMC: See this annual report , page 61. Technically speaking, at March 31s...

At least, I know that G-UKAC and G-UKID are still owned by KLM UK and are leased to Cityjet as EI-DEW and EI-DEX respectively. Some corrections here: In fact, these aircraft were not owned by KLM UK but leased. They were then sub-leased to WX untill the lease date expires. So, it is not impossible ...

They are black listed in France too.

Thanks chornedsnorkack for your explaination. Permish me however to add slight corrections concerning ETOPS and LROPS accronyms:

ETOPS:
Extended-range Twin-engine OPerationS

LROPS:
Long Range OPerationS

KLM Cityhopper
F50
On finance lease:......6
On operating lease:..2

KLM Cityhopper UK
F50
On operating lease:..6

As you can see, none of the F50s are company owned. I know some were leased from Denim Air. I Don't know about the others...

Seb.

Actually, KLMC started replacing leased F50 with F100.

Seb.

... and one B737-700 for Transavia also. Régional has 5 F70's wich could be transfered to KLM Cityhopper. The 6 E-190LR ordered last summer will replace the 6 leased Saab 2000. In fact, one of them has been already replaced by an ex-CCM F100. so, if firmed, the 6 E-190LR on option could eventualy re...

CH-Aviation also said that KLM would take over the F70s of Régional over the coming years. That would be an intra-Air France Group transfer. To my knowledge, this information seems to be correct. The Air France group is rationalising its fleet. I have serious doubt on it... At least, nothing will m...

KLM cityhopper will take over the Fokker 70 fleet of Régional over the next years.

Jacques Bankir (CEO of Régional CAE) has been interviewed recently in A&C N°2000 - October 7th issue:
"F70/100 replacement is not in the agenda yet", he said.

Seb.

I don't like it at all.

According to CH-Aviation's aircraft lists, KLM is going to add a fourth ex-Pelita F100. Currently, the aircraft (c/n 11445) is parked at Dinard... It seems CH-Aviation was wrong. According to The Fokker Aircraft Page, this aircraft belongs now to Eastindo PT. and is now registered PK-RGE. Regards S...
