Martinair to end the well dedicated Passenger flights

Post by Ricardo 767-200ER »

Published today that Martinair is going to end the well respected passenger service after 52 years..
It was already a rumor for a while that Martinair was going to quit the passenger flights but today i become reality for now there's no date when the last pax flight will be..
Martinair will continue with the freighter service and wants to grow as one of the biggest cargo operators.

here the article only in dutch:

Dat is echt zonde, Ik heb 1 keer gevlogen met Martinair van AMS naar LAX en terug in 1997 in MD-11. Toen mocht je ook nog roken achterin echt lang geleden.

I don't see any confirmation of the ending of pax-flights in the mentioned link; this is just an interview with the founder

What do you mean with the words the well dedicated?

Then the article must have been edited since you read it. The second sentence is already quite clear now.

It is all over the news right now, hardly a discussion point anymore.
