KLM launched scheduled services to Malabo in Equatorial Guinea and Douala in Cameroon in July 2003. The service, Amsterdam - Malabo - Douala - Malabo - Amsterdam, is operated twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Fridays, with Boeing 767-300ER equipment.
Both of these West African cities are key business destinations in the region, where the economy has grown sharply over the past few years due to the local oil industry.
KLM isn't the only carrier to have recently introduced new services or increased frequencies to Malabo so the demand for flights must be high. No wonder then that you may be experiencing problems in securing any awards seats. Before you maybe get excited and consider requesting a reward tickert on Air France... you won't be able to as there are no award seats available on the Malabo route because it's a "Dedicate" product.
Air France flights to Malabo are served with Air France's A319 "Dedicate" aircraft. Air France have invested in a new fleet of A319 aircraft which, have two additional fuel tanks, can fly up to 6500km non-stop. The aircraft is fitted with an 82 seat, two-cabin configuration and the comfort of a long-haul aircraft.
Flytertalk doesn't allow you to post any photos to threads so I've posted information and Dedicate cabin layout plan on the
KLM Passenger Forum.
