Leeds Bradford: KLM Flight Status, Hub News & Discussion

Very Whitty Bigman (oh come on think about it!)

KLM City Hopper Embraer 175, PH-EXK is booked to operate this evenings KLM1549 from Amsterdam.

 

[lbaspotter]

Looks like todays inbound "KLM1549" service from Amsterdam is last one until February 1st 2021 at the earliest, all remaining flights throughout January have now been cancelled. Hence the reason Embraer 175, PH-EXK has positioned back to Amsterdam empty as "KLM9958"

According to the comments submitted by KLM in "LBA Terminal Building planning application" this is the future of the Leeds - Amsterdam route.

The first Embraer 190E-2 in KLM livery seen recently out on a test flight.

No 737-700 then??

 

[Bigman]

It would still be 114 seats in a single class, so still a but of an upgrade.

No 737-700 then??

They'll be phasing out the 700s in favour of the E190 E2.

 

[Bigman]

...which hopefully Jet2 could nab so that we can cart the 300's off for coke can conversion.

 

[lbaspotter]

I understand that the Boeing 737-700 fleet is gradually been retired and will eventually be replaced by the Embraer 190E-2 's

No 737-700 then??

LBA-AMS service is still showing the 737-700 operating the mid morning rotation during parts of the summer 2021 schedule season (from April 26th to first week in July & from August Bank holiday to end of October)

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

The newly arriving KLM aircraft are in fact Embraer 195 E2's configured with 132 seats. Combined with a 24% reduction in per-seat fuel burn and this is a very efficient and quiet aircraft.

Fits perfectly with the airports promise of attracting the quietest, most fuel efficient aircraft whilst increasing seat numbers at the same time.

Welcome to Forums4airports @Yorkieflyer

 

[Yorkieflyer]

Thanks Aviador, great forum

 

[Bigman]

Yes welcome Yorkieflyer. Thanks for this info on the 195 E2's. Even better news that then.

 

[mdobuk21]

PH-NXA to NXD for the first four. Look forward to seeing these.

 

[752]

and if the 737-700 proves successful (which im sure it will, they may look at -800, -900..)

Let’s hope when they do arrive both the airport and KLM go for maximum publicity regarding their fuel efficiency and low noise to put GALBA and the rest back in their box.

 

[Wardair166]

Talking of GALBA boxes, a coffin springs to mind.

It should be something LBAs PR/publicity dept should be emphasising.

Absolutely.
