I need to figure out the schedule of direct flights going from Nairobi
to Amsterdam between approximately 12/1/2003 and 12/5/2003
(information re current schedules is not useful to me).  I don't need
every airline; would be happy to get info for KLM, Kenyan Airlines,
Ethiopian Airlines and South African Airlines.  Also need to know
whether flight attendants for any of these airlines wore green skirts
as part of their uniforms in 2003.

The uniforms were easy:

Does this change your question?

Here's the two direct flights they are running *now* --does this help
at all?  I'm looking for historical information, but I haven't found
it yet.

FROM: 
http://www.flyethiopian.com/schedules/passenger.aspx
I entered NAIROBI TO AMSTERDAM and selected December 1st. As you know,
they might have had a different in 2003, but I thought this might
help.

Ethiopian Airlines
ET 800  Jomo Kenyatta Int'l (NBO), Nairobi, Kenya  12:10  
 Bole (ADD), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia  14:10  
 Non-stop
73W 20:45  Tuesday
 Thursday
 Sunday  
 
Ethiopian Airlines
ET 802  Jomo Kenyatta Int'l (NBO), Nairobi, Kenya  18:20  
 Bole (ADD), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia  20:20  
 Non-stop
73W 14:35  Tuesday
 Thursday
 Sunday  

If this answers your question sufficiently, let me know, otherwise
I'll keep checking for the 2003 timetables. Do you still need the
other countries, or have we narrowed it down to this airline alone?

The uniform information is very helpful, thanks a lot.  Unfortunately,
I *really* need 2003 information.  I am comfortable narrowing to
Ethiopian Airlines based on the uniforms, but am looking for a direct
flight from Nairobi to Amsterdam in December 2003.

Just to muddy the waters
- you can get other operators flying under the flag of a National airline

I once went out on a 'real' National, we had an unscheduled drop into
Copenhagen to pick up el-Presidente, annoying as we got kicked out of
first class
- and the return trip was really a South African charter owned and
crewed by Swedes - probably a cash deal to use LHR slots.

I can envisage a similar flight from Nairobi - also a standard charter
with spare capacity.
