NEWS - Winterschedule 2010 / 2011

[Alpha4Delta]

I have a question about COA. Is Continental going to use their B772 again from IAH - AMS - IAH again? Or do they stay with the 764?

Thanks

A quick look on http://www.continental.com shows no B772 equipment on the IAH-AMS route throughout the wintertimetable and also not for the 2011 summertimetable, only B764s. I think it is unlikely COA will use B772s on a scheduled basis into AMS as they are no longer part of Skyteam.

Thanks for your reaction.

MALEV from 31OCT10 is reducing Budapest – Amsterdam service, as its codeshare agreement with KLM terminates on 30OCT10 (latter is starting own 3 Daily flights).

As a result, MALEV service to Amsterdam reduces from 4 to 2 Daily.

MA660 BUD0710 – 0915AMS 737 D
MA668 BUD1735 – 1945AMS 737 D

MA661 AMS1000 – 1200BUD 737 D
MA669 AMS2030 – 2230BUD 737 D

As KLM (skyteam) has announced plans to operate to Budapest with its own B737s again and cancelled its longstanding codeshare agreement with Malev (Oneworld), the Hungarian airline has announced a new schedule for BUD-AMS-BUD which includes an overnight at AMS.

As Malev operated only 4x/daily there is an increase of 2x/daily flights on the route AMS-BUD v.v.

Starting Winter 2010/2011:

- BUD dep. 06:50 AMS arr. 09:00 KL 1972 B737 daily
- BUD dep. 07:10 AMS arr. 09:15 MA 660 B737 daily mix 6/7/800
- BUD dep. 13:25 AMS arr. 15:35 KL 1976 B737 daily
- BUD dep. 17:30 AMS arr. 19:40 KL 1978 B737 daily
- BUD dep. 17:35 AMS arr. 19:45 MA 668 B737 daily mix 6/7/800
- BUD dep. 19:50 AMS arr. 22:00 MA 690 Fokker 100 Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun = Overnight AMS

- AMS dep. 07:30 BUD arr. 09:30 MA 691 Fokker 100 Mon, Thu, Fri. Sat. NEW aircraft type for MA
- AMS dep. 09:50 BUD arr. 11:50 KL 1975 B737 daily
- AMS dep. 10:00 BUD arr. 12:00 MA 661 B737 mix 6/7/800
- AMS dep. 13:30 BUD arr. 15:30 KL 1977 B737

- AMS dep. 20:30 BUD arr. 22:30 MA 669 B737 mix 6/7/800

So they are not doing this?

Ok, ik zie het. De andere vluchten zijn van KL en daar heb ik even overheen gelezen.

Apparently, the MA F100 flights (+ n/s AMS) have been cancelled, while the morning and evening 737 flights remain, operating almost on the same times as KLM...

From 1 January 2011 the PVG-AMS-PVG B747-Freighter flights of Great Wall Airlines will become part of China Eastern CARGO. China Eastern is expected to join SKYTEAM in 2011.

China Eastern Airlines (CEA) said its new cargo carrier, combined China Cargo Airlines, Great Wall Airlines and Shanghai Airlines Cargo. The new freighter airline will commence operations Jan. 1, 2011 from its base in Shanghai. China Eastern Airlines will be the controlling stakeholder in the new entity.

CEA acquired Shanghai Airlines last year and signaled it would combine the two carriers' cargo subsidiaries. Earlier this year CEA took a 51% stake in Great Wall, which operates three 747-400 freighters based at Shanghai Pudong.

Great Wall's stakeholders include Singapore Airlines while China Ocean Shipping Group and Taipei-based Eva Airways hold stakes in China Cargo and Shanghai Airlines Cargo, respectively.

Shanghai is China's largest domestic air cargo market, but it is dominated by FedEx, UPS and DHL rather than domestic operators. In the next few years CEA will allocate more capacity to Pudong to open more international routes and boost flight frequencies on existing international and domestic trunk routes.

Will the 747's currently flying for China Eastern Cargo come to AMS as well then?

As already mentioned by some others, Emirates will, unfortunately, not fly to SPL with the A380 this year.
The reason I mentioned the possible start of it, with some reluctance, was due to the fact that several colleagues (my work being ATCo at LVNL) were in serious talks with Emirates about how to handle this.
I did not post this with the idea to get some minds racing, but tried to be ahead of the stream of rumours I expected to start once this 'news' would come to light. Apologies if my intentions were not clear from the start.

Kind regards,

Ard
