Identify the air carrier operating the first two flights as well as the first connection airport along with the second connection airport and the second airline with your answer including the stop made by this flight. And, of course, name all three aircraft types. The first two flights were operated by KLM Royal Dutch. The DC-9-30, the A310 or any aircraft type manufactured by Boeing was not operated on the first flight.The first connection was made at AMS and the second flight was operated with a 747-200. The second connection was not made at BOS, IAD, JFK, LAX, ORD or IAH. The third flight was not operated by American, Continental, TWA, United, Western or Southwest and this flight did not stop at DEN, DFW, ORD, SLC, STL or DAL. The third flight was operated with a 727-200.
14- I think I’ve exhausted the KLM gateway airports with the exception of Atlanta/ATL; while I could be wrong, I don’t recall Delta with anything but nonstop service into ABQ, so that would seem to point to Eastern as the airline of record
I *do* recall EA going from ATL to Tucson/TUS, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the 72S flight in question was a circle trip that went ATL-TUS-ABQ and then continued nonstop back to ATL
as for the first segment, I think between my guesses and the constraints we’ve almost exhausted the KL fleet … gotta go big here, because I have to believe the market was too big for an F.28, and offer the DC-10 for GVA-AMS
