Doha – Dallas/Ft. Worth 01NOV17 – 30NOV17 A350 service, replacing 777-300ER, to be introduced from 01OCT17, is maintained during this period, 1 daily
Doha – Male eff 09DEC17 QR672/673 A350-900XWB replaces A330-200/-300
Well, DFW rotations actually take away the original BOS. Comes 1st DEC, DFW goes back 77W and BOS gets its 359 back.
Noticed not only BRU night departures but also ZRH that get original planned 359 back.
MLE would require one new plane on some nights of the week. TUE/THU/SAT/SUN (if my 359 rotations excel file is right)
So yes, the new 2 frames will pretty much help maintaining the original scheduled 359s on BRU/ZRH, and operating new MLE plus new 2/week ADL.
Still, there will be at least 2-4 A359s sunbathing in DOH from early morning till midnight.
But comes 9th DEC (when all of the above will happen), perhaps, we will see A7-ALO and A7-ALR joining the fleet?
Too many assumptions now
