Corendon wish to operate their own exclusive trains.

[citycat]

I see in the Dutch media, that Corendon, a Turkish holiday company, wants to run their own exclusive trains between Schipol and Brussels airport, and later to Dusseldorf airport to help their package holiday customers connect between various flights of theirs. They have their own airline.

If it ever gets off the ground (no pun intended), I wander where they will source their stock?

By the way, if you are ever in the Schipol area, be sure to visit the Corendon hotel which has a non operational Boeing 747 in Corendon livery parked in the hotel grounds, even though Corendon never operated 747s. I think there is a youtube video somewhere that shows how they transported the aircraft from the airport to the hotel crossing the A9/A4 motorway.

Corendon to offer trains from Amsterdam to Brussels and Düsseldorf

As a major player on the Dutch airline field, Corendon is now expanding its offer. How? With direct trains from Amsterdam to international airports!

dutchreview.com

Corendon, a Turkish airline which mainly operates from Schiphol Airport, has big plans: it wants to start running trains to two major airports abroad.

First, they’re eyeing Brussels (Belgium), but later down the line, they want to operate in Düsseldorf (Germany) as well...

...they will only be offered in package deals that also include a flight.

Corendon is international, a Turkey touroperator, has its own airline (I think all based/licensed in TR too) and has national branches in most west -EUR countries- DK about UK.
Its current new president for the dutch branch was a minister in the last stepped down govmt/cabinet and also of Turkish offspring.
All in all probably now only a attention seeker without really concrete details- just wait&see. Speculation can be done at will

Doesn't seem very practical. Are there really going to be enough passengers to fill a dedicated train? And what happens if the connecting flight is late, does the train have to depart on time even though it is empty?

There's a big Turkish diaspora, especially in Germany. The Optima Express has been going for decades off the "visit the relatives" traffic.
