NEWS - Winterschedule 2013-2014

This will make it even harder for airlines like MH and CX to make a profit on the route to AMS. Wonder how long they will stay.

[B767-300ER]

Ook reeds op de slotlijst.
Echter dan met een 77W (777-300) voor 360 zitplaatsen?

Hmm, volgens EK zelf gaan ze echt met de 777-200LR komen. Misschien typo in de slotlijst? Kan ook zijn dat ze, net als bij de start van de route, een mix van 200 en 300 doen.

Typo zou kunnen....
Maar dan is zowel het vliegtuigtype een typo als het aantal paxen....
er staat daar 360 77W. En in een EK 77W gaan in bepaalde varianten ook exact 360 pax...
Maar goed, het zijn slots, kijken wat er komt! De website van EK toont in ieder geval de 200LR.

From 27 October 2013 the daily JAT B733 service BEG-AMS-BEG will transfer to daily Air Serbia with A319s, as ETIHAD has taken 49% ownership of JAT and will transform the carrier under a 5 year management contract.

De uitstel van de CGK-LGW operatie van Garuda zou wel eens kunnen betekenen dat we deze winter toch de nieuwe 77W van Garuda gaan krijgen op AMS.

[Schalkcity]

Uitstel van CGK-LGW vluchten door Garuda heeft (ook) te maken met het feit dat CGK geen 100% beladen 77W's aankan; Garuda kan dus geen 77W toestellen zonder beperkingen gebruiken. CGK heeft toegezegd de wijzigingen door te voeren medio 2014 zodat Garuda alsnog de geplande vluchten kan gaan uitvoeren, wellicht dan ook naar AMS.

[streep]

Garuda now has their 777-300 scheduled for
Jakarta to Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo Narita and Sydney

[Remco]

Also good to mention that all Jet Airways slots are gone from the slotlist. Maybe better luck next summer?

ArkeFly stopt per 6 december met Amsterdam - Kathmandu. De verbinding voor TUI wordt daarna uitgevoerd met Turkish Airlines.

Jammer dat na Transavia en Martinair nu ook ArkeFly verdwijnt uit Nepal. In 2009 de pre-inaugural gevlogen (met zicht nét genoeg om te landen, anders div naar Delhi), was een mooie vlucht!

Slots are on hold... but def not off the table...

More good news from Philippines , as from Dec apperently 3x weekly A340 service, to be increased to daily

The impact of the 2nd EK flight to AMS is becoming clearer.

KLM has decided not to expand AMS-AUH this winter with larger A333 aircraft, as initially planned for W13.
The A333 will now appear on IAD, AUA, BON, ACC, LOS routes.

This permits frequency increases with A332 on AMS-DOH-MCT, AMS-YYC and AMS-HAV.

KLM will not operate the 2x/weekly MD11 service AMS-JRO-AMS this winter.

Air Serbia announced its schedule to replace the B737 with Airbus A319. Amsterdam will see the A319 for the first time "a few days before the New Year holidays". So i guess two months later than stated a few messages back in this thread.
