[Xanadu_A343]

With the start of the 2011-2012 winter schedule KLM will adjust its Caribbean and South-American schedules.

The five times weekly MD-11 Amsterdam-Bonaire-Guayaquil-Quito-Bonaire-Amseterdam service will be replaced by a three times weekly Amsterdam-Quito-Guayaquil-Amsterdam service, equipment will be B777-300ER.

Frequency to Bonaire will be daily, Curacao nine weekly, Aruba five weekly and St. Maarten three weekly.

Timings are unknown as the KLM reservation system is still showing the current schedule.

Jet Airways has been granted daily flights between Delhi and Amsterdam starting winter 2011, so hopefully they will indeed start service.

The article also mentions code-sharing between Jet and Alitalia and using Italy as their European hub, a proposed new service to Paris CDG and non-stop service to New York. I wonder if these developments indicate a move towards Skyteam and it probably will mean the end of their Brussels hub.

KLM announced from 31OCT11, it’ll resume service to Buenos Aires, its 67th Inter-Continental destination, after 12 years of hiatus.

318-seater Boeing 777-200ER aircraft to operate 3 weekly Amsterdam – Buenos Aires, and 4th weekly frequency is currently being planned for Northern Summer 2012 season. The Skyteam member has announced the schedule for this flight but the reservation is not open until Friday 18FEB11.

KLM last operated service to Buenos Aires around 1998/99, with 3 weekly 747 service on Amsterdam – Sao Paulo – Buenos Aires – Santiago de Chile – Buenos aires – Amsterdam routing, KL791/792. The Amsterdam – Buenos Aires sector once again becomes KLM’s longest flight on non-stop basis.

Planned Schedule as follows:

KL707 AMS1010 – 2020EZE 772 135 (14hrs 10mins)
KL708 EZE2220 – 1535+1AMS 772 135 (13hrs 15mins)

Certainly 'smells' like it...would be nice for AMS to, finally, see an Indian airline again at it's turf...

Also nice, btw, to see Indigo allowed to fly to SIN...

KL707 AMS1010 – 2020EZE 772 135 (14hrs 10mins)
KL708 EZE2220 – 1535+1AMS 772 135 (13hrs 15mins)

Langste vlucht (qua) afstand vanaf Amsterdam. Snel gemeten 11500km, dacht dat nu AMS-SIN langste was (10500km)

Op het moment is (snel gemeten) Jakarta de langste route EZE wordt met 100 KM mee dan Jakarta de langste KLM route.

JKT wordt niet NON STOP gevlogen... langste route is bij mijn weten MNL correct me when wrong..

[B767-300ER]

AMS-CGK is 11356 km, maar wordt door de KLM niet non-stop aangevlogen (Mentioned bij Ton)(wel rechtstreeks).
AMS-EZE is 11437 km , deze wordt wel non-stop aangevlogen
AMS-SIN is 10517 km.
AMS-MNL is 10426 km (Helaas Ton, de SIN is toch langer )

[Diarto]

CKG wordt met stop in KUL aangevlogen! Ik dacht idd eerst ook MNL, maar SIN is langer.
En maar weer on-topic denk ik

[MTOW]

AMS-MNL is 10426 km (Helaas Ton, de SIN is toch langer )

De MNL vlcuhten hebben langere bloktijden dan die naar SIN,
AMS-MNL 12:35
MNL-AMS 14:05
AMS-SIN 12:20
SIN-AMS 13:35

Dit heeft te maken met restricties op de route naar MNL, waardoor deze alsnog langer wordt dan naar SIN ondanks dat de afstand hemelsbreed misschien korter is...
