Bristol: KLM News & Flight Discussions

[Willo3D]

Looks like the Eastern lease is done. KLM’s own aircraft nightstopping tonight and 2 E295s on the lunchtime and teatime rotations today.

Did the Bristol based Eastern crew get the boot then, or were they all on fixed term contracts?

I believe today is the start of of KLM mainline operating the 17.35 departure. PH-BGG a 16 years 737 700 is down to operate the flight.

Looks like flights will reduce to 3 daily for most of July and August.
However as always with KLM the schedule will likely change multiple times between now and then

It’s a strange one isn’t it - increase in the winter including mainline then reduce in the summer with only two flights on Saturday

 

[Willo3D]

I do think the Exeter KLM route might be impacting the figures slightly as that is carrying 4k plus pax a month and BRS-AMS have been down pretty much every month since the Exeter route started.

 

[Jerry]

It may well be something that's seasonal ie less business travel around that time.

 

[Willo3D]

There was only 1 KLM departure and arrival yesterday. I know they normally cut down the frequency a bit during the summer but that seems quite a drop?

 

[Jerry]

Were some flights cancelled?

Only 1 scheduled out at 0615 and the last one of the day inbound as the usual night stopper.

Seems to be downgrading the route slowly - so much for regular 737 and E195. Seems to be a lot of E175s now

That's surprising.

Just took a look at the winter schedules starting on the 26th October (only a week from now) and was surprised the schedule has been updated from 3x daily E175s to a mixture of E175/E190/E295s overnighting/operating the first departure and the mid-morning departures, and B737-700s (plus the odd -800) operating the early evening departure Mo-Th!

Looking at a week in mid-November there is 21x weekly departures (3x daily) made up of:
13x E175
2x E190
2x E295
4x B737

The KLM 737-700 has been operating the early evening BRS-AMS departure since the 26th Oct. Looks like it’s been parking on Stand 3, right outside the main terminal rather than where the E190s usually park, Stand 21

The Embraers have been parking on stand 3 most of the time for quite a while now.

I’ve just had my KL1079 mid day flight from Amsterdam to Bristol cancelled for next April , are they just adjusting the timings or is something more going on ?

Apparently Summer 2027 will be 3 daily. Which I thought it was last summer?

Looks like it'll be 21 weekly departures expect in July and August when it's 20 weekly with no mid morning flight on Saturdays.

 

[andrewgreen]

Yes it was three daily this summer but it looks like no midday flight in April 2027

Looking at past posts it appears it was only 3 daily in July and August last summer.
