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?
