  • KLM to DFW?

    I'm hearing some strong rumors about KLM starting AMS DFW this fall... also lesser rumors about Virgin Atlantic to DFW as well... anyone else?

    Dude I hope so! More international variety would be awesome, in time for the new viewing park! Any update on the park's progress?

      VS would make sense as the next step in SRBs war on AA/BA

        That would be awesome. Be good to see a little more variety.

          Still only rumours. KLM has not put any seats on the market yet. I checked through to Feb/08 and nothing is in the system (no seats for sale).

            Maybe KLM would use Privitair for this mission. I know that their routes to Houston went well, but then agian that was due solely to the oil industry. As for the Virgin rumor, I am not sure as to how effective that would be seeing that both BA and AA, being so close due to One World, and both being based at either end of the route, have the market very well served. Maybe Virgin could stir up trouble via a price war...
            Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

              Doubtful. The longer the flight is, the more costly even these BBJ/ACJ flights become. Sure, KLM could try it, but to make the flight profitable, they would have to charge quite a premium, and I doubt they could get those. It works for IAH because of the oil industry, but that doesn't apply for DFW. IMHO, if KLM were to launch DFW, it'll probably be with A330s.

                Yes, I figured Virgin Atlantic would maybe try DFW - Manchester, but I have heard they were looking at DFW LHR instead.

                Of course, the KLM talks were stronger. I would like to see their A330s here. Didn't KLM serve DFW briefly years ago?
