KLM to *Finally* Start 3rd Daily JFK Flight

[Iberia A340-600]

After plans to do this for the past couple of years, KLM is finally introducing a 3rd daily JFK flight for the winter 08/09 schedule. The new daily flight will be operated by 757-200 aircraft which will be moved from the 2xdaily EWR-AMS flight which will revert back to 1xdaily flight operated by the A330-300.

KLM 757 = NICE! Any word on the arrival and departure times?

As far as I remember, KLM doesn't have any B752's - will this be a NWA B752 with winglets?

I believe you're right. An NWA 752 would be disappointing.

Confirmed, it is gonna be an NWA 752, KLM doesn't own any 757's.

Sorry... I suppose I should have made that clear that it was going to be a Northwest 757-200W.

I'll post times and flight numbers when they are available.

Like everything KLM, this flight is subject to change. :roll:

[LGA777]

Keep in mind Open Skies is soon starting JFK-AMS with a 752W.

LGA777

Not that soon. And just as boring as an NW plane. :)

but won't it soon be a delta plane????

Yes which will make even more boring...

Exactly - at least a NWA 752 would be something different at JFK.
