Trein vervangt vlucht tussen Eindhoven en Schiphol

AMSTELVEEN - De KLM vliegt vanaf 11 december niet langer met de zogeheten Cityhopper tussen Eindhoven en Schiphol. De Nederlandse Spoorwegen nemen op die datum de zogeheten Utrechtboog in gebruik, waardoor een rechtstreekse treinverbinding tussen beide plaatsen mogelijk wordt.

De reisduur zal dan een uur en twintig minuten bedragen, aldus maandag een bekendmaking van de KLM.

Bovendien gaat Air France vanaf 30 oktober twee retourvluchten per dag verzorgen tussen Eindhoven en Parijs. In december komt daar een derde dagelijkse vlucht bij.

Summary: As of December 11th, KLM will no longer offer flights between Amsterdam (Schiphol) and Eindhoven, as a new direct railway service will start. The train trip takes 1 hour and 20 minutes.

As of October 30th, Air France will start two daily flights between CDG and EIN; a third will be added in December.

Here is the Press Release:

Air France and KLM to Launch
Paris-Eindhoven Route
Starting on 30 October 2005, Air France and KLM will launch a Paris-Eindhoven (Netherlands) service.
To begin with this service will be operated twice daily followed by three times a day from 11 December onwards. It will be operated as a code-shared AF/KL flight in ATR 42-500 aircraft with seating for 48 passengers, leased from the French airline Airlinair.

Flight times will be coordinated so that a round trip journey is possible the same day. Furthermore this new air link to Air France's Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub will give the Eindhoven region access to Air France's extensive global network.

Eindhoven is one of the Netherlands major economic and industrial centres. Eindhoven's population is just over 200,000 strong.

KL now advise that the new direct Eindhoven-Schiphol rail service will not commence December 11, but "sometime in 2006". The flights will still cease on the aforementioned date.

interesting if the train will have a KL flight number and it will be possible to get miles... ;)

Is it? Book on KLM EIN-AMS for EUR 120+surcharges = EUR 217,90 roundtrip (Economy Class)
Book on NS EIN-AMS two single trips for EUR 26,40 each (1st class)...

Expensive miles though....

Not if they give the minimum 750 per segment.
