For many reasons...
- Am from BFS
- Have lived in NL for 17 years
- Am an ex-KLC Ops employee
....I'd love to see KL return to the route and for me personally something into BHD is much more convenient than into BFS. Having worked at Schiphol for nearly 10 years I can quite categorically state that it is one of the easiest transfer hubs for Mr & Mrs Normal Passenger to navigate. For too long the folks of NI have not been able to avail of a serious contentender and viable alternative to LHR when planning long-haul advenutures. This would be a perfect opportunity to present this as that alternative.
The schedule proposed by EI-BUD would work an absolute treat IMHO and I can confirm that EI BFS-AMS was
not operated under codeshare with KL (...although the crew often incorrectly declared that it was during the pre-flight safety annoouncement).
All in all, and with the correct marketing in place this could work to the benefit of all concerned.
