Clean they current fleet, new carpet, curtains, maybe seat covers... and continue to run the Hopper fleet..

On the Holland Herald (March issue) Klm stated there is a refitting of the entire Fokker 100 fleet (Carpet, interior..)

So, does it mean... They will keep the plane for another while..

Ciao

KLM wil soon place an order for 30 aircraft: 8 A319, 14 320 and 8 321's!


mmm... :? i'd love to fly with small airbusses under KLM colours, but unless it comes from airfrance, i can't understand who convinced them...

I read on one of the airlines magazine (sorry can't remember exactly the one ...

I donno the details, but is not acceptable!

We rightly must pretend proper complete maintenance from the carriers.

Is SAS from a poor country ? is a LCC ? even they receive checks and if not fit they get a ban.

Someone told me maintenance is the most critical part of running a plane, not the age ...

So noone here can tell me the full story of the end of Buzz (from a Klm point of view) and the startup of BasiqAir then Transavia ?

Waiting for your posts...

Tnx mate...

i knew that, just... distracted...

so, then.. Basiq Air was existing before Buzz... ?! how did they came up with it...(KLM!) if you know the story, i'd like to know more...

unlike Airfrance that is allergic to LCC...

Tnx hourse..

Put it this way... they tried a LCC, with Buzz, they didn't have it right and eventually they sold it...(to FR) probably to stop the emorragy of money they were having...

Someone else sold it's own as well, and made good money (read BA's GO to EZ)...

Now others are thinking to have a ...

I read Bae are quite expensive to run, in terms of fuel consumption, so that is why ryan got rid of...

And at Buzz time oil was cheaper...

Also having different types in the fleet is not their goal.

oh dear, we gonna see this Fokker around for quite a bit then..

unless they order something, it won't be ready...

good at least the are replacing the old 737x's

KLM taking second hand FXXX, they are profitable, do they need to look at the bottom of the barrel... is it there the good wine ?

i ...

Give them some time...

I Think the will... specially the boeing oriented..

then also depends how the A380 will perform and if the schedule will be respected..

CX, BA, KL but maybe QF, SIA, some of the americans.. once they workout where to find the money...

Specially in the busy airports will be ...

Tnx buddy !

i quite like 4 engines planes too...

Seems Boeing finally did it !

Meanwhile A320 is a golden mine, somehow for Tolouse...

How come ?

Volare in under administration and AZ is flying just 'cause of the new money they just got with the emission of new stakes...

How can they afford to buy another airline ?

Volare itself is doing quite ok, recovering and flying only A320.

Also Volare connects Milan Linate airport to few ...

" their have been as many as 67 occurances of this type involving this aircraft model"

8O

someone is hiding the head under the sand... problem is our security...

" Airbus said that the A330 will stay for at least 10 more years... " 8O

All depends how long is gonna take to see the 787 and 350 fly.., the last deliveries or some airline trying to keep the fleet with the same model till they don't decide to upgrade the lot...

And still we got the MD11 around ...

mmm...

So according of these news.. seems there is no much market for the A340.. unless something will change.., maybe a pair of winglets will do :lol:

SIA went to the 345 for the distance, i think, but we just saw what is capable of the new B777 :roll:

I won't discuss if a plane is marvel or ...

I agree about the long runner B777, maybe airbus has something there to show one day unexpected...

A340 has some strange lover as Branson, he likes the 4 engines planes, he made it clear to the public..

Every plane has its unique niche that sometimes is perfect for just few customers, maybe ...

I wonder for how long we are gonna see the A300.. are we seeing the last orders of this one ?

I read also one of the new planes will replace it... Can someone confim ?!

Then, when the 787 / A350 will be around.. another few years, unless a decisive price cut, the A330 will be less appealable.. for ...

A350 is the response of Airbus at the 787...

787 was in fact the reaction of Boeing to the A330.. partially..
..and A350 is gonna replace the A330 in the long term.. 'parently..

anyway B787 was a much needed where the market wasn't taking more 757/767...

For Air India, option number two is the one i like most..

Airfrance, a new one would be nice, but i believe french will say is nice like that.. but airfrance should clean their planes and their records.. even if noone died in Toronto, AF names is too present in air accidents..

Alitalia need just ...

Donno if is faster, for sure is cheaper..

Like Henry Ford said what is not there cannot be broken.. Ryan use built in stair for the front, so the need less service from airport.. and is faster..

I still don't like saving everything policy of LCC...
