Just Leeds or are other airports getting 737s?Expect an announcement very soon regarding an increase in ‘based’ seats from Leeds for next Summer or sooner...
From Embraer to Boeing if you can catch on...
YesSo the 737 would be a 'mainline' aircraft?
If it's a 737 from what I've seen that'll be a contact stand with an airbridge. When I've used AMS I've only ever seen KLM Cityhopper jets use the remote stand area.If a larger plane, would it still entail being bussed to the terminal at Amsterdam? Presumably also still gate D6?
Due to the current slot constraints at Schipol I would expect this to be in the form of a larger aircraft, almost certainly a B737-700. Either way, it will be great news if it happens. Are the 737s any better or worse equipped for dealing with poor weather does anyone know?LBA management did say at the last Consultative Committee meeting that due to excellent loads on KLM they were in discussion with regard to increased capacity, either through the use of larger aircraft types or re-instating the 4th daily rotation we lost, then re-gained, and then lost again. It will be interesting to see if this happens and if so, which option.
And meant to say all three rotations usually do really well so it may be more than just the night stopper but whatever the increase, assuming we are getting one which it looks like we may be, is a very positive move from KLM. Any other airlines wish to take note?My guess is that they are going to put the Boeing 737-700 on the night stopper whilst the mid moring and afternoon rotations will remain Embraer 190 operated.
We're KLMs prices high from everywhere or just LBA? With fares being "through fares" if the LBA legs are heavily sold then this will impact on the overall fare. Extra capacity could just mean more cheaper fares. Also be interesting to see if this impacts LS point to point traffic, especially as their 733s leave the fleet.
