This seems to be optimistic: first 787 into AMS

According to slotcoordination:
A AMS RS428 27OCT 24DEC 1234560 188 787 LHR LHR 0845
D AMS RS429 27OCT 24DEC 1234560 188 787 0940 LHR LHR

and who is RS?

[thomas]

RS isn't actually an airline flying overhere. Slotcoordination uses it for testpurposes I suppose, in the last years, sometimes this RS "company" popped up in the slotlist, for example wflying to JFK with a 748. As I did a little research, RS is the shortcut for AeroFreight Airlines, based in Moscow, flying a TU204 and an AN12. So don't expect them starting scheduled services to LHR

Centralwings

Haven't read it anywhere yet:

Airliners LINK

The article stats that Central Wings will stop all regular flights within two weeks. Only ad hoc and charter flights will be done. Some personal has been taken over by LOT.

So another airline is quiting flights (and also AMS off course).

Vueling will discontinue four routes in the Benelux during the wintertime

The discontinued routes will operate again from March 09 onwards

During the wintertime, Vueling will keep on operating the routes linking Amsterdam to Barcelona, and Brussels to Barcelona and Valencia

Barcelona, September 9th, 2008. - Vueling, the new-generation airline, will discontinue (for the wintertime only) four routes in the Benelux, three of them in Amsterdam and the remaining one in Brussels.
These cancellations are an effect of Vueling’s fleet-reduction programme which, as a part of its improvement plan, will take the company’s fleet size to 16 aircraft by year-end, down from 24 in December 2007.
As a consequence of this 33% reduction in capacity, Vueling is being forced to discontinue a series of routes, including the following ones in the Benelux:
route frequency date of
last flight date of reinstatement
Amsterdam-Valencia daily November 1st March 29th
Amsterdam-Seville 3x a week November 2nd March 29th
Amsterdam-Malaga 3x a week November 2nd March 29th
Brussels-Seville 3x a week November 1st March 29th

The abovementioned routes will be fully reinstated to Vueling’s programme from March 29th, 2009, and will operate with normal schedules.
Besides, during the wintertime, Vueling will keep on operating the following three routes in the Benelux: Amsterdam to Barcelona, and Brussels to Barcelona and Valencia. Their timetables will be as follows:

route frequency timetable
Amsterdam-Barcelona twice-daily 0845-1055
2040-2250
Barcelona-Amsterdam twice-daily 0600-0810
1755-2005
Brussels-Barcelona daily 1225-1430
Barcelona-Brussels daily 0940-1150
Brussels-Valencia daily 1020-1230
Valencia-Brussels daily 0730-0945

The passengers affected by the cancelled flights will be contacted and fully refunded by the airline, having the communication and refund process started this week. Regarding travel agents, any question on the cancellation or refund process they might have will be attended at agencias@vueling.com or +34 902 48 77 48.
