KLM breidt intercontinentale routenetwerk uit met Panama

Air France-KLM begint in het voorjaar van 2008 met rechtstreekse vluchten van Schiphol naar Panama-stad. De hoofdstad van Panama wordt de 62e bestemming in het intercontinentale routenetwerk van de maatschappij. Dat maakte KLM, onderdeel van de Air France-KLM groep, maandag (1 oktober) bekend.

Vanaf 30 maart 2008 vliegt Air France-KLM drie keer per week naar het Midden-Amerikaanse land, dat van 1949 tot 1998 ook al een KLM-bestemming was. De maatschappij wil met de nieuwe route haar marktpositie in Latijns-Amerika versterken. Volgens het bedrijf is Panama de snelst groeiende economie in de regio.

Denk niet dat Panama nu zo'n groei economie is, maar het feit dat COPA Skyteam memeber is maakt het wel een belangrijke hub voor Zuid Amerika. Veel passagiers uit de regio kunnen niet met SkyTeam vliegen omdat het door Continental of Delta wordt uitgevoerd. Veel landen uit Midden en Zuid Amerika hebben visum plicht voor de VS, die nu ook geldt voor transit pax.

Bovendien zal het voor veel passagiers één keer minder overstappen worden, wat ook een voordeel kan zijn.

Northwest sets March 29 launch date for Portland-Amsterdam

SkyTeam member Northwest Airlines has officially unveiled plans to launch daily nonstop service between Portland, Oregon and Amsterdam.

The new transatlantic service, announced today at the Portland International Airport, is scheduled to begin on March 29. Northwest says it will operate Airbus A330-200 aircraft on the route in cooperation with joint venture partner KLM.

“With the addition of Portland-Amsterdam service, Northwest is pleased to meet the needs of customers in the Portland area seeking both transpacific and transatlantic nonstop service,” says president and CEO Doug Steenland.

“International customers traveling from Portland, whether to the Northwest/KLM hub in Amsterdam or our hub at Tokyo’s Narita Airport, will experience unmatched seat comfort and in-flight entertainment on our modern Airbus A330 aircraft.”

Northwest first served Portland in 1938 and began daily nonstop service to Tokyo’s Narita Airport in 2004. With the addition of daily nonstop Portland-Amsterdam service, Northwest will offer more international seats than any other carrier serving Portland, says the US major.

If you refer to the Fokker 100, that's operated by PGA...
