Dr Frasier 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2012 Surprised nobody here has noticed that KLM will be adding additional frequencies to KUL from Winter 2012. New flights will be operated by 747-400 Combi and 772 mix as KL811 arriving KUL at 0720 or 0735 depending on aircraft type and return departures will be at 0920 or 0950 again depending on day/aircraft type as KL812. Flights depart Amsterdam Mon, Wed and Sat. KL809/810 will continue to operate daily AMS - KUL - CGK with 777-300ER operating x4 weekly and 777-200ER x3 weekly. http://airlineroute.net/2012/05/10/kl-w12-update2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 21, 2012 Internal memo states, due to heavy traffic to Australia/New Zealand this increase in flights is warranted; note KL0811 and MH0017 AMS-KUL almost same schedule !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh T 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 The loads on the KUL-AMS sector must be really good. A pity MH is not going to use the A380 on this route, even if it may only be 3 or 4 times a week (since they won't have enough of the dugongs for a daily service).

flee 5 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 This is due to the fact that MH has downgraded its equipment from B744 to B772 for the KUL-AMS run. So KLM has to put on more capacity to compensate for MH's capacity reduction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So KLM has to put on more capacity to compensate for MH's capacity reduction. You mean MH reduced capacity KUL-AMS vv because of impending OW alliance ? And KL (a Skyteam member) increased capacity in response ? It's a wierd industry ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 I am not sure whether their code share agreement will be terminated. If that is the case, they will have to use their own metal for the route. Not as weird as it sounds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
