I was told the AMS flight number changed from 145 to 147 because of the ASRs filed due to callsign confusion with the FRA flight EK45.

Anyone know if this is the case?

International operators at off-shore airports generally put up their signs when their flight is checking in, then pull them down and make room for the next airline.

Emirates being the tight-wadded scrooges (another word came to mind but we can't say that here - the irony would be too much) that they are, they'd be renting the space by the hour, as needed.

the AMS flight number changed from 145 to 147 because of the ASRs filed due to callsign confusion with the FRA flight EK45.
That'd be a first - the commercial dept bowing to the suplicating whining from Flight Ops.

After QA, it seems like EK will open OTP soon. BUD is on the list as well.

Thumbs up Geneva June 2011

Tres bien, the T7 gets a new route

Geneva will become Emirates' second stop in Switzerland with the launch of our daily, non-stop services to the city on 1st June 2011. I would like to congratulate all the individuals and teams who have worked hard to put together the route plan.

Details:

Aircraft: combination of Boeing 777-200LR and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration - First, Business and Economy.


Schedule: EK089 will depart Dubai at 08:55hrs and arrive in Geneva at 14:10hrs. From Geneva, EK090 will depart at 15:40hrs, landing in Dubai at 23:59hrs.


Switzerland has been part of the Emirates network since 1992, when we began flights from Dubai to Zurich. Geneva will become our 111th international destination and our 26th destination in Europe

Hamburg double daily!?!?

I bet the hotel we currently use won't be able to cater for two sets of crew

Wasn't Geneva supposed to have started about five years ago?

It's more like the Hotel is no longer willing to put up with EK Crew not spending anything at the Hotel and emptying the free mini bar everytime...

It would indeed be a shame; it's by far the best layover hotel we have in europe.

Emptying the mini-bar!

You mean both the 330ml Becks that are in there.

I'm thinking along the lines of too many rooms, not the two Becks!

Two Becks?

That interesting. I haven't been to HAM for about a year, and it was 5 Becks at that point-

Seems like the Hotel offers a free bar than gets shirty when people actually use it!!

Can I book a summer time start to Copenhagen for the 332 please. 3 or 4 times a week would be pretty nice as well but not too fussy about that bit.

You A330 guys get all of the good layovers. When is the 777 gonna get a decent layover?

Glad to hear you boys get another plesent option to bid for in Europe. You've earned it.
