For the people wanting to see an operational KLM 767: this is the last week to do so! Next Sunday, the 4th of March, PH-BZK will make it's last commercial flight inbound AMS (as KL652 from IAD).
NB: This week the BZK will only be scheduled on the AMS-IAD route.

PH-BZK will go to Air Astana (as P4-KCB). Delivery expected early April.
Just before delivery the aircraft will make a testflight in Air Astana colors (still registered as PH-BZK).

I guess this means more A330s and 777s have been delivered with the IFE and better seats, which is good news, but I'll miss seeing the blue 767s if only for nostalgic reasons. When I lived in Abu Dhabi I used to sometimes drink with the KLM (and Martinair) layover crews, some of which would apparently go from the airport straight to the "49ers" club because they'd arrive in partial uniform (although even in "civvies" they'd still stand out because of their height)....Good people and I guess they'll be working the A330 to AUH now...
