Capacity F70 vs. F100

[XYZ]

Friday 6 May:

Just 5 weeks after opening, KLM Cityhopper has raised seat capacity on the new route AMS-AAL-AMS from Fokker 70 to Fokker 100 on some flights:

- arr. 07:50 Aalborg KL 1332 KLM Fokker 100 PH-OFM
- arr. 15:40 Aalborg KL 1336 KLM Fokker 70 PH-KZE

KLC uses flexible capacity so Fokker 70 & 100s are interchanged whenever needed. Last Wednesday a Fokker 100 operated KL1336.

Seat cap is not raised as FK100's operate with 80 saleable seats.. When FK100's operate they operate as FK70, so CRS's are not changed and show FK70.

Not true; in some cases Fokker 100 ARE replacing the 70 for commercial reasons (= when there are more than 80 seats sold, or because of high NEO loads)...when this happens, CODECO and FIRDA will be updated accordingly...

KL1332 was changed to the 100 due to 70 'shortages' when the nightstopping 1337 was due to depart...(so was not commercial)

Indeed Codeco/FIRDA are updated but only 1 day in advance, and still not loaded in CRS as FK100. So saleable cap remains 80... so an overbooked FK70 flt can in such a case leave without denied boarded pax.

So, how do you explain KL1799/1800-31may11

It's shown as 100 (and not F70) in Altea
