New Alitalia Launches

This is a big transition for us, and we're working hard to make it a smooth one. We'll of course add Air One's aircraft and routes to our operations, although most of the timing will be determined by when those flights appear in the SkyTeam Timetable. We'll also continue to add Alitalia's discontinued routes and retired aircraft.
Here's what Air One brings to Alitalia:
-New Aircraft: A330-200, A350, Avro RJ70, 737-300/400, CRJ-900
-New Destinations: Addis Ababa, Katowice, London City, Madeira, Pescara, Porto, Riga, Rzeszow, Vilnius
Here's the combined fleet and route map, and a summary of the new schedules, a look at what's been cut.
This topic is being discussed on the Message Boards.

KLM Discusses Long-Term Fleet Plan

-747-400: the 747-8 is likely too large, with "the 777-300ER...a very likely choice. It would be a one-for-one replacement."
-747-400M/MD-11: KLM is one of few airlines to operate combi-service aircraft (747-400M): "Eventually we are going to have to split main-deck cargo from our passenger operation. All of the second-hand combis are the same age or older. Apparently there is not really a market any more for new combis." KLM and Air France are actively considering both the A350 and 787, planning to announce a joint order in 2010, with the possibility of both aircraft being selected.
-737-300/400: 737-700s are currently being delivered, but "we wouldn't use an interim solution. We want a definite solution, preferably much earlier." A decision is expected next year.
-Fokker 50/70/100: "Six or seven years from now we will have our whole Fokker fleet renewed. It could be a two-type fleet," says Managing Director Michel Coumans. Currently, the Fokker 100 is being replaced by E-190 deliveries, but KLM continues to take Fokker 70 deliveries from Air France partner Regional. "The Fokker 50 is the next challenge," says Witsenboer, with both turboprops and jets under consideration. "The Fokker 70 is a later challenge. We hope that we will have access to new technology by then." A decision will be made by 2011 with deliveries complete by 2016.

KLM Starts 737-700 Operations

The aircraft is currently being flown to Aberdeen, Munich, and Venice, although the SkyTeam Timetable doesn’t break out individual 737 types for each route. As a result, you're free to fly any of KLM's 737s on any of those routes (except the PrivatAir route to Houston Bush).
Some useful lists of 737-700 routes can be found here (1, 2, 3).
