[GLAGAZ]

Wasn't there more to come from NWA in Europe for summer 2007? Or has the plan changed?

These were the last routes I heard (I took the below quote from another board). The city pairs in bold are the ones that have been announced. I have no idea of the timeframe for the others-including GLA.

Yes, we will. These are tentitive, but this is what NWA is looking at. 10 757-200's will be fitted with the winglets
EWR-AMS 9am, and 6:30pm there abouts
DTW-AMS morning departure to start seasonally in the summer months, and see whether it would work year round
BOS-SNN-DUB, 1-stop
DTW-SNN
DTW-DUB
DTW-BRU
DTW-DUS
DTW-MAN
DTW-GLA
DTW-BHX
DTW-ARN(possibly)
These flights below will switch on and off with the 757-300's
LAX-HNL
LAX-OGG
SEA-HNL(3rd 3x a week)
SFO-OGG
SEA-HNL

don't forget the already announced BDL-AMS...

Ooops...I should have put that one in as well; I had counted it in the "first round".....

What about a return of the PHL-AMS route? Operated by a 757, this route may be very viable compared to when it was run several years back with a DC-10.

I seriously doubt NW will try BOS-SNN-DUB. If AA was unable to make it work, what makes NW think they can?

 

[Kev3188]

Common sense rarely factors in at NW, let alone economic sense.....

 

[FlyUs]

yeah, i remember when NW had a many flights to Europe from Boston. Early 90's I believe most were discontinued. What was that all about? Something to do with Braniff?

 

[eolesen]

They were discontinued after someone figured out it was cheaper to fly the customers on KLM via AMS than it was on NWA metal.
