KLM

I was reading an article the other day that said KLM is have problems with engines on the E jets. So that may be a factor in what type comes into LBA.

8 of 14 E-195-E2s were out of action in the first week of January due to problems with their P&W engines. That’s bound to cause disruption in the aircraft normally allocated to the routes they fly. All but one of the other Embraers (E175, E190) were in service to cover which may explain the prevalence of E175’s at LBA.

The Amsterdam route seems to be going back to 20X weekly as of Feb 13th with a mixture of E175s and E190s. This is sooner than I expected and a welcome bonus

The schedule goes back down to 14X weekly fir April, then goes a bit random in April-June with some days having 3 flights but some others only having 1. The schedule settles down in July and in July and August the afternoon KL1550 rotation will see an E195 E2.

On several occasions this week, Humberside has had an E190 at the same time of day as an E175 was employed on the LBA route. Unfortunately it will be a long wait for the January CAA traffic figures in order to surmise if the equipment choice was demand-driven!

Nothing ever seems to add up at LBA when it comes to airline frequency, equipment, routes and so on. Its a mysterious place haha

Amsterdam Airport say they’re ending the passenger Caps from May half term holidays. This should be good news for our KLM service which should enable them to operate back to 3 daily without cutbacks from then onwards.

This only affect KLM at LBA so assume ok to post here.

Amsterdam Schiphol’s passenger cap could continue for months

The airport continues to face staff shortages for baggage handling and security

I can't see any reference in the article that this only affects LBA. It affects AMS as a whole. It's OK to post it here, but could you please also post it in the European and Worldwide Airports > Amsterdam thread.

I said this only affects KLM at LBA!

I posted to the other thread before posting it here.

I've seen your earlier post now, so offer my apologies.

A 3 euro fee per bag should be factored into airport charges IMO, airlines could then reflect that into their pricing. For me, I would rather pay an extra 3 euros in the price of a flight ticket, as in my mind I rationalise the flight amount. If this went ahead, this would be just another add on which has changed the nature of flying. I remember the good old days of flight tickets, including transfer, with an included meal, hot towels and bags automatically in the hold.

Some of the recent changes are great, select your seat, self serve your bags, but a lot of the arsing around is annoying and this bag charge could also go the same way (If rolled out)

 

[Cruzeiro do Sul]

On the earlier topic of equipment choice at LBA, this morning is a good example. On this busy Monday morning an E175 will shortly arrive at LBA.
An E190 is due at HUY at 10.05.

Do you also remember the cost of an airline ticket back then? Extortionate.

You would assume the demand is less from Leeds. How much this is down to pricing I don't know but I would expect prices to be similar.

That’s because HUY has one departure today. LBA has 3 with the 6am being a 190……

 

[Finger66]

Travel is returning as we know and I am sure KLM will increase frequency on HUY to 2 a day which to some may seem a Double Dutch move!! If LBA gets 3 flights a day, much as we would like the 737 back, happy for now with any combo of 175s, 190s, 195s

Nothing ever adds up at LBA! Haha

2 e190s and an e175 to Amsterdam from LBA vs a single e190 from Humberside today - a much better offering!

LBA does have 3X per day

 

[Finger66]

Yes I know it does, you misinterpreted my meaning but re reading it myself I understand why it could read in a “hopeful” way rather than a “now” way. Understand there is some scaling back in Q2 though to cope with AMS capacity restrictions

 

[Seasider]

I don't know if I have missed it, but I haven't read that KLM are now 3 daily at LBA.
