KLM Flying Dutchman - OT: new routes from RTM (non-SkyTeam)

I just thought it worthwhile pointing out the planned expansion of services currently underway at Rotterdam-The Hague airport.

Lufthansa commences a twice-daily CRJ900 service to Munich from Monday 1 October. There are some worldwide launch specials currently on offer (http://www.lufthansa.com/online/portal/lh/nl/specials/booking?nodeid=940491565&l=en&cid=1000327), and returns to Munich start from €99.

British Airways announced recently that it intends to use slots that will become available after the bmi summer timetable has been completed to commence a number of new services from LHR, including to Rotterdam (http://www.abtn.co.uk/news/0617435-british-airways-takes-over-seven-bmi-destinations). No further details have been announced and the flights have not been scheduled and are not on sale.

Finally, an outfit called Europort Express (http://europortexpress.com/) intends to begin service from RTM with destinations including Geneva, Hamburg, London Southend, Humberside, Manchester, Dublin, Aberdeen and Durham Tees Valley. Some sources indicate a September start date, but this seems ambitious. (Some more info (http://www.airportspotting.com/europort-express-airline-rotterdam/)).

Was there something you wanted to add?

Thanks for posting :)

irishguy28: I think this part: BA will operate 3 x a day/workdays to /from RTM ex LHR

Yes, BA announced the timetable in the meantime and the flights are now on sale.

There will be 3 flights a day (not just workdays) from LHR T1 on A319s starting on Sunday December 9.
