Any ideas why the KLM/Eastern Embraer came in today?
I wanted to restart the KLM rumour as it has done a little UK tour, but it looks to be at the exec base.
Welcome back to the Pprune BOH rumour mill LOL>!
OK, so jumping on the treadmill;
Personally I never knew of any rumours that KLM was ever to start services from BOH to AMS.
The only AMS service from Hurn I can think of was a short-lived attempt by Eurodirect Airlines about 30 years ago (Gosh was it really that long ago lol)
Eurodirect also were rather short-lived too
Eurodirect Airlines ATP at AMS
With KLM's strong presence at both SOU and BRS, I'm not sure that flights from BOH to AMS would see much take up?
However, that said,
KLM did increase their SOU flights to 3 x daily, and last year I flew with them from SOU using the superb Interline Connections at AMS for my onward KLM Venice, Cape Town, and Nairobi flights, saving me the slog to/from here in Dorset up to LHR, and I was able to book and pay for my KLM flights using Partner Airline Virgin Atlantic Flying Club reward points.
BOH Bournemouth Airport's expansion IMHO is very much seen as
''Holiday Airport Central''
