KLM will no longer fly thru Iranian airspace and parts of Israeli airspace. This deu to the ongoing threats between both countries. Flight to TLV will continue, with a stop outbound at Larnaca for crew change. Flight is nonstop from TLV to AMS.

Jump to postMost -10's (or all?) don't have the Crew Rest Areas installed at the rear for Cabin Crew (I think SOME Carriers had the forward Flight Deck crew rest fitted) - again, also due to the planned range not meeting the requirements for a CC CRA to be required. It was designed for shorter missions, but wi...
Jump to postWhat’s happened to the B77W cabin refits? The last was PH-BVR which returned to service on 19 January, but nothing has replaced it in the hangar. The next one, PH-BVN, should be starting next Monday (5feb). It seems they are aiming to have the remaining B773 fleet completed by the start of S24 at t...
Jump to postAll the 787 -9 and-10 have the new PE. Most of the 777-300 fleet have been refurbished but no 777-200.
Jump to postStorms are hitting again, up to 65 klm flights canceled tomorrow.
Jump to postAnd even KLM uses a mix of 737 NG's and E190/E295's. Back in the day even the good old Fokker 70/100’s There was also a surprising number of KLM 767-300ER’s at LHR for the longest time as well.[/quote Before that the A 310, those where morning rotation once a day for mainly cargo if I remember corr...
Jump to postThat was the year of the DC 10 crash in Chicago. I was suppose to fly AMS-LAX on a KLM DC10-30 but they where grounded so it became a DC 8-63 via Toronto.

Jump to postIt's been discussed in the KLM/AF posts but as she a unique aircraft and not everyone reads al the posts I'll post here. Orange Pride has been in Malta and gas got a new updated livery.

Jump to postLooks good but preferred the old transition from orange to blue.

Jump to post... Now if you are saying there is some silly additional screening that flights to the US need to have prior to departure, if that is the case, the onus would be on B6 to organize and pay for that. Which comes down to a commercial decision, they want to go via AMS to avoid those costs. I also doubt...
Jump to postIncorrect, passenger flights to the US are considered "high risk" and as such commercial passenger flights to the US can only depart from AMS as "high risk" flights are not allowed from EIN, MST or RTM. The nearby options are BRU and DUS. Why are passenger flight to the US consi...

The Dutch government had planned to hire KL to ferry its citizens from the Israeli region this week, but instead uses an A330MRTT for the CGN-TLV-EIN civilian evacuation flights. Three flights have been flown so far, if I count correctly, with a continuation ‘as long as necessary’ announced. https:...
Jump to postOdd looking flight for British airways to TLV today. Looks like the flight (A35K G-XBWF as usual) left an hour late, got all the way to Israeli airspace and as low as 8,000 feet on its approach then turn around and looks like it's heading back to London. ba.com shows flight has been delayed to 20:0...

Flights affected. Honk Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai.
Flights that where on route are returning to Amsterdam.
Seems excessively cautious. Why not just fly over northern Turkey, Georgia and northern Azerbaijan ? Or over southern Turkey and Iran ? The Nagorno-Karabakh region that the 2 countries are fighting over is relatively small... and since 2020, Azerbaijan controls a significant chunk of it. Trying to ...
Jump to postNotDengXiaoping wrote:Which flights are being cancelled? I know Azerbaijan is usually traversed now that Russia isn't an option, but are they really going to cut service to what, half a dozen different markets instead of just flying over Iran?
Due to the unrest in the Azerbaijan region KLM had canceled flights to the far east tonight. More unrest in the world the region there becomes more and more volatile. I suppose the want asses the situation first before resuming flights over the region.
Jump to postMH and KLM had a long partnership even before covid and codeshare on their daily flights to KUL. KLM used MH a lot for their Australasia traffic. MH17 and covid but also MH management let to the downfall of MH, they where losing money left right and center I believe.

Jump to postKLM will reduce its presence in the middle east as of the winter schedule. Kuwait and Bahrain will be terminated this winter schedule. Do you know if KLM ups the DMM (Dammam, Saudi) schedule to daily? KLM used to have BAH and DMM on a every other day rotation from each other. I got no news on that.

Just wondering..I think they had 737s between Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the 1990s.....which I know is a very short route but... Then again United had 727 between Oakland and SF and various airlines had up to DC-10 and L-1011 between Fort Lauderdale and Miami back in the day!! Mainline KLM did not,...
Jump to postWould it be possible for KLM to exchange Embreaers for Airbus A220s as Air France also has Airbus A220s. I think it makes more sense for 2 companies of the same holding company to share the same fleet with one aircraft manufacturer. from efficiency and economic cost control. Because if you, as Air ...
Jump to postKLM will stop flying to Barbados and Muscat as of this winter season. Trinidad will remain but will be in combination with SXM.
Jump to postJust arrived from Amsterdam on KLM at T5, what a dump that is. Took me 3 hours from disembarking to immigration in multiple lines, absolute discrase. I'm used to an hour or so but this was unbelievable.
Jump to postI see the 777-9 as a real contender for KLM. The single pilot pool plays a definite part of their philosophy but it will give them optimum flexibility in the fleet. On days that certain routes do not require the 777-9 you can easily substitute that for a 787 without compley messing up crew schedules...
Jump to postOther than long walks, which are actually nice after a long haul flight, that might have been true prior to the double whammy of Brexit and COVID. Now, AMS is an airport to be avoided. There were some staff-shortages due to the aftermath of COVID (air travel recovered fast but they were not able to...
