If it happens we will have to change this thread title and loose the cityhopper bit !

To try and put the KLM figures into perspective between now and Monday 3rd, according to GDS, here we go:
Outbound wise, LBA to AMS, Thu to Sun inc there are only the odd flights Almost full but relatively good loads overall. However on MON 03Sep there are only 8 seats available in total over all three legs. Inbound fairs much better as follows: Thu 30th has 6 seats available over 3 legs. Fri 31st is 4 over 3 legs. Sat 1st all 3 flights are full. Sun 2nd has 2 available over 3 legs. MON 3rd is 3 over 3 legs. That makes happy reading from where I am sat

How many flights a week does KLM operate on LBA-AMS? According to Wiki Jet2 also operates from LBA to AMS. If so, how many flights a week?

KLM currently operate 3x daily E190 flights from LBA to AMS (21x flights weekly) until November.
From November it drops to 20x E190 flights per week, (3x daily flights Mo-Fr & Su, 2x daily on Sa). This continues through until the schedule runs out next July. Which if the case means a drop of 1x Saturday service.

Jet2 operate 4x weekly flights from LBA-AMS from late June through to early September (Mo, Th, Fr, Su).
This then increases to 6x weekly during mid-Sep (Mo-Fr & Su)
It increases again to 9x weekly through to the end of Oct (2x Mo, 1x Tu,We,Th, 2x Fr & Su)
From November it becomes 8x weekly with only 1x flight per day on the Sunday through to Dec.
From Jan it becomes 6x weekly until mid-Feb when it increases to 8x weekly again.
The flights are normally on the B733, with B738s operating 2-3 flights per week usually Mo/Fr/Su.

Hope that makes sense!

It certainly makes sense and I'm very grateful for the information.

The Saturday afternoon KLM1549/1550 AMS-LBA-AMS rotation has not run during the winter months (Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb & Mar) for a good few winter now..

However does not currently return for the summer according to the current schedules. Hopefully these update soon!

Boeing 737-800 has being scheduled to operate the LS205/206 LBA-AMS-LBA rotation on 2+ days per week for most of winter 2018/19 season starting from November running until end of March. Its easy to work out as those flights have 45 min turn around at AMS and are listed as follows.

Fridays
LS205 = LBA 16:30 AMS 18:45 / LS206 = AMS 19:30 LBA 19:45
Sundays
LS205 = LBA 18:00 AMS 20:15 / LS206 = AMS 21:00 LBA 21:15

All other Jet2's Leeds - Amsterdam flights remain scheduled to be operated by Boeing 737-300's.

I wonder what the loads were like when they ran them?

 

[Finger66]

Not sure on the loads. This could be a result of the wider movements limit at Schipol meaning they are deliberately operating just mainline routes from the UK hence freeing up spare movements/slots at a more lucrative day of op. I am sure there are a combination of reasons for the decision

 

[Seasider]

I've just booked a trip to Nantes via AMS in May next year. The available flights were all scheduled to use the EMB190 including the "night stopper". Even in July it is still planned EMB190 operation.

Unless they announce a change later, bang goes the B737.700.

 

[Gray Ham]

Not so sure about a 737 for the night stopper. From next April to June the night stopper appears to be an EM175. Better news is that the third Sat rotation looks to have been restored from the beginning of the summer timetable.

 

[Bigman]

I must admit that when I saw that someone had posted on this thread, my first though was 'oh god, not another service gone!! Thankfully not. It will be nice to see ER175's regularly again.

 

[Severn]

KLM weekly departures - 2019
20x weekly (20x E190 (only 2x daily Sat)) - from January until end of March
21x weekly (7x E175 / 14x E190) - April until beginning of July (E175 Night-stop)
21x weekly (21x E190) - July onwards for peak summer

Well, that makes a mockery of my itinerary for the trip I booked just over 2 weeks ago. In fact, i don't think I have flown on a EM7. 🙂

 

[Seasider]

I have just checked the itinerary for my trip and it now shows an EM7 on the KL1540 outbound on the 16th.

 

[LBA4EVER]

why is every klm flight tomorrow (7.1.19) cancelled? weather at ams?

 

[KARFA]

yes, quite a few flights have been pro-actively cancelled due to forecast strong winds at AMS

[White Heather]

Both this morning's return flight, and the one this teatime are cancelled according to BBC Radio Leeds this morning. I guess it's either the strong winds we had previously, or fog, and that they have reduced flow at AMS like they do at LHR? Shame they couldn't send us something bigger to put both loads on the one aircraft at lunchtime!
