Iberia A340-600
2007-08-01, 11:44 AM
This is quite long and a tad bit complicated so I will quote it directly from the source I read it from.
We all know KLM though, I'm sure this is subject to change at some point or another.
Good news is we get another chance to catch the Northwest A330-300 and KLM MD-11 at EWR and there is a high chance at some point next summer that we will see the 777-300ER on KL64/644 next summer.
KLM and Northwest will gradually increase their offerings on the busy Amsterdam to New York route with the addition of one extra flight to JFK and EWR each. The increase will take place in phases and will start with the opening of a third daily JFK rotation with the onset of the winter schedule. This flight will be operated by NW with B752. Starting summer 2008, the airlines will then further increase frequencies with the addition of a second daily EWR rotation, also operated by NW's B752. As such, the entire frequency increase will come on account of NW.
Here are the details:
AMS EWR
Current flight:
now until 02DEC KL657/658 daily with A332
03DEC-05JAN KL657/658 daily with MD11
06JAN-15MAR NW063/064 daily with A333
16MAR-29MAR KL657/658 daily with MD11
from 30MAR NW063/064 daily with B752
NW is temporarily taking over the AMS EWR route from KL during the winter schedule because of scheduled maintenance operations with the KLM widebody fleet. Between 06 January and 15 March, NW will not operate its thirds daily AMS MSP rotation and that equipment will be dedicated to the AMS EWR route. The freed up MD11 capacity will move to the AMS IAD route, where the MD11 will replace the B772. The B772 will subsequently replace the B744 on the AMS YYZ route, so as to free up B744 capacity for scheduled D checks.
Additional flight:
from 08APR NW065/066 daily with B752
AMS JFK
Current flight:
now until 13OCT KL641/642 daily with A332
14OCT-27OCT KL641/642 daily with B772
28OCT-29MAR KL641/642 daily with A332
30MAR-03MAY KL641/642 daily with MD11
from 04MAY KL641/642 daily with A332
now until 29MAR KL643/644 daily with B772/B74E/B744
from 30MAR KL643/644 daily with B772/B77W/B74E
Additional flight:
28OCT-29MAR NW061/062 daily with B752
from 30MAR KL645/646 daily with A332
After all the above mentioned increase will have taken place, KLM and Northwest will, next summer operate 5 daily New York rotations from their AMS hub. These flights will be scheduled in each of KLM's longhaul departure banks. Northwest will be uniquely responsible for the EWR station, whereas KLM will take care of the JFK flights. Here are the exact schedules for next summer:
KL645 AMS JFK 0815 1030 daily A332
KL646 JFK AMS 1620 0600
NW063 AMS EWR 1015 1240 daily B752
NW064 EWR AMS 1645 0610
KL641 AMS JFK 1330 1545 daily A332
KL642 JFK AMS 1740 0720
NW065 AMS EWR 1530 1755 daily B752
