Middle & South America
Flights to/from BON will increase from 11 to 12 times a week. AUA will continue with its 5 weekly MD11 flights, however in July/August a 6th flight (747) will be added (AMS-AUA-CUR-AMS). SXM will decrease from 3 to 2 flights, which is customary in this period.

KLM will start a new AMS-CTU service (Chengdu) operated twice a week with a 777. This flight is codeshared with China Southern (CZ). Flights to PVG will be operated by a 747-400 combi and flights to KIX with a 777.
KLM Cargo:
KLM Cargo obtained rights for a 4th weekly freighter service to KIX. The 747-400ERF will operate this flight to KIX with a stop in ALA.

Correction: The AMS BLL was scheduled to be flown by F70, but advance bookings were so high that the flights have been upgraded to F100. Roumours will have it, that it might be 737 from October or a 4th frequency

Quoting JoKeR (Reply 5): Any news of KL's return to BEG?
Not likely. After the merger with AF, it was decided that KLM would focus on the Nothern part of Europe (UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Baltics) and AF on the south. Destinations that have so much traffic that they can support flights to both AMS and CDG will retain both carriers of course, like CPH, BCN, FCO, etc.
As AF is already flying into BEG, it is more likely that, if AF-KL wants to increase capacity to BEG, that AF would add more flights, than KL adding flights.
Flights to/from BON will increase from 11 to 12 times a week. AUA will continue with its 5 weekly MD11 flights, however in July/August a 6th flight (747) will be added (AMS-AUA-CUR-AMS). SXM will decrease from 3 to 2 flights, which is customary in this period
What happened to the talks of KL ceasing their BON flights in favour of nonstop flights to LIM (772ER) and transferring ops to either CUR or AUA?

Quoting LACA773 (Reply 8): Will AMS-LAX-AMS ever change to 772 service from the current 744, or change the 74D to 772 on the additional flight?
not likely, as a lot of horses are carried on the LAX route (very few flights leaving without horses), and they can only be carried on the main deck (not limited to the fact that the animal attendant must have acces to the horses).
And it is a 744M, the 744D is a domestic version (no wingtips is the most noticable change) only ANA and JAL operate.

There was a thread started by AA B777-200 regarding the KLM summer schedule back in December. He mentioned that they would drop DAM. When I check the timetable, DAM is still showing up (in fact with 5 flights instead of their 4 flights that they were running in the fall). Do you have any news of this? Thanks for your help!

Quoting RootsAir (Reply 21): lets all hope they switch LIM from an MD 11 to a 777
That's what I'm wondering myself. Rumors I've read are getting stronger about KL pulling out of BON in favour of non-stop 777 flights to LIM and transferring the remaining BON flights to either AUA or CUR. If KL will replace the MD11 with the 777 on the LIM routes, this will become a nonstop flight. If so, I don't understand the additional flights to BON as BON itself has little demand. The biggest part of the BON flights have South America bound passengers.

I have a question regarding the AMS-EWR-AMS flight. When will there be 2 flight a day? Will there be a A332 daily and the second flight a 772? Is the second flight already on the KLM reservation system?
Thanks a lot,

25 MalpensaSFO: LAX is more than robust with Cargo, yet cannot support a dedicated Cargo flight. Perhaps the 777-200 will dawn at Los Angeles, only when and if KLM c

27 A388: Why does KL fly to both JFK and EWR? Is it because the JFK slots are too valuable to give up and the CO hub in EWR as a SkyTeam member airline? A388
28 AA B777-200: COSAMICLE, You're absolutely right! KLM did plan to drop DAM but reinstated the flight and KLM will fly 3 weekly 737s into Syria this summer season. N

30 CityAirline: Hey I guess MNL will remain a daily 772, but was checking to be sure? bye
31 BestWestern: From a KLM perspective, feed to and from Dublin isnt at the level it should be, and they are losing significant business to Lufthansa and BA.
32 Flyingfool: They will remain as daily nonstop flights (KL803/4) during the summer.
33 Lamedianaranja: They're in hiding, bird flu is coming
34 Hjulicher: Why doesn't KLM start another flight into Moscow. They only have one, and it's departure is late in the day, therefore not allowing any connections. T
35 MOW: MOW is now served exclusively by 737s. Whatever the demand, KL cannot add flights to MOW because at this point SU has only one daily flight out of MOW
36 GlobeTrekker: Perhaps we'll see a codeshare between KL & SU to MOW, when SU enters SkyTeam.
38 GlobeTrekker: Yes Roger I meant SVO. MOW is the general code used for all Moscow airports like NYC for EWR, JFK and LGA. BTW how is CUR airport coming along. Any p
