It’s only to run the AMS on behalf of KLM, and I guarantee this is a bad sign for the longevity of the service. They’re doing the same at Humberside.

Yep..thin end of the wedge..I’m sure this has happened before!

Helps KLM out of a hole…excuse to leave the route…the foundations have now been laid!

KLM are having aircraft shortages due to fleets needing to get inspections/ corrective actions undertaking.

They had this issue last year, which did not impact the services much.

One thing is for sure, I hope they have some solid SLAs in place as it’s not unlike Eastern to suddenly decide to redeploy their aircraft on to last minute lucrative charters where they invariably go tech leaving a backlog of unhappy passengers funnelled on to other airports in the network.

Do not be so naive.

Eastern are to take on the Aberdeen route daily then in September twice daily.

 

[Seasider]

That's good news, but what about May to August?

 

[Stagman]

Daily from May 20th, then increases to twice daily in September.

 

[Seasider]

Apologies @Stagman, I didn't read your initial post correctly.
