The Jet Airways, Delta/KLM cooperation via scissor hub AMS, seems to be working:

Jet Airways is take back six Boeing 777-300ER aircraft from investor and codeshare partner Etihad Airways. The aircraft had been wet leased to Etihad, which owns a 24 per cent stake in Jet Airways. Jet Airways' chief financial officer and acting CEO Amit Agarwal said:

"Our wide body (Boeing 777) aircraft currently on lease to partner airline Etihad will be taken back and operationalised from August.

"Based on the market condition, our plan is to upgrade some of the existing A330 routes with B777s. This will subsequently result in additional capacity in our core markets, India and Gulf.”

Jet Airways also plans to deploy these aircraft on long-haul routes to destinations such as Amsterdam, Paris and Toronto, which are currently being served by the A330. The carrier told Business Traveller India that a decision on what will happen to the existing A330 aircraft will be made in the coming weeks.

KLM voegt Namibie als bestemming toe

Maandag 22 augustus 2016 11:14

Drie vluchten per week met Airbus via Angola.

De Nederlandse tak van Air France-KLM voegt Namibië als bestemming toe aan zijn internationale vliegschema. Dit meldde KLM maandag.
Per 30 oktober 2016 vliegt de luchtvaartmaatschappij ook op Windhoek in Namibië, waarmee KLM twaalf bestemmingen in Afrika aandoet.

"Het vluchtschema van de drie bestaande vluchten naar Luanda in Angola wordt enigszins aangepast zodat het mogelijk is na een korte tussenstop heen en weer te vliegen naar Windhoek", aldus KLM.

De vluchten worden uitgevoerd met een Airbus 330-200 met 243 stoelen, en vertrekken drie maal per week vanaf Amsterdam Schiphol.
