NEWS - Winter Schedule 2011-2012

[XYZ]

Several months ago, KLM and Transavia announced a closer cooperation with KLM codesharing on HV metal. This is now in operation on some routes giving KLM greater access to new leisure destinations:

- AMS dep. 06:55 - Alicante KL 2641 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines PH-HZN - operated by HV
- AMS dep, 07:35 - Malaga KL 2649 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines PH-XRY - operated by HV
- AMS dep. 16:35 - Malaga KL 2651 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines PH-XRW - operated by HV
- AMS dep. 11:50 - Pisa KL 2657 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines PH-HZJ - operated by HV
- AMS dep. 17:40 - Valencia KL 2659 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines PH-HSD - operated by HV

It seems that these codeshares only happen on routes where KLM does not operate itself.

Just heard from our scheduler, from 20jan2012 no more KLM667 AMS-IAH till end of winter schedule.

Starting 1 February 2012, Cathay Pacific has decided to increase capacity to Paris again by extending the HKG-AMS route on to Paris and re-introducing the B747 on all flights. It will operate HKG-AMS-Paris daily with B747-400.

CX's action indicates that the route HKG-AMS-HKG is suffering strong competition ever since EK started flying to AMS, as AMS can no longer fill CX planes by itself.

Why is CXs desicison to extend AMS to CDG an indicator they can no longer support an AMS terminator flight and furthermore EK is to blame?

CX will offer 2 non-stop flights to CDG starting with the 2012 summer schedules and will again terminate at AMS opb B744. Based on this it could simply be a quick solution by CX to increase CDG service due to increased demand, without the need to allocate extra equipment. EKs operations at AMS certainly will have an influence on other carriers as they target similar markets. With regard to CX, EK also targets different markets (e.g. Africa, India and the Middle-East).

Yes it is a reduce in capacity, but isn't this also not due to the fact that the 747 will leave the fleet?

Helemaal waar, er zijn er al een paar uit de vloot (naar derden of conversie naar -400F) en vanwege de bitter noodzakelijke herorganisatie is gebleken dat de 747 slecht functioneerd/presteerd binnen de huidige routes en met de ophanden zijnde komst van de A380 is de capaciteit groter dan de aanvraag en moeten ze selectief snijden.

Ombouwen naar BCF-en zal niet voor eigen gebruik gaan gebeuren. Maskargo annuleert momenteel vrachtvluchten bij de vleet aangezien de toestellen aan de grond houden ze minder verlies oplevert dan ze de lucht in te sturen.

Zo wordt er momenteel een sterk gereduceerd aantal vrachtvluchten uitgevoerd in vergelijking tot wat er voor deze winter was aangekondigd en dat geldt niet alleen voor AMS maar netwerk breed.
