Response of KLM to state agent’s third report

The third report issued by the state agent – who oversees compliance with the conditions attached by government to the loan package – was published on Thursday.

The circumstances compel KLM to take measures that will help keep the situation under control at the airport and within its own operations. KLM will therefore proactively cancel up to 50 flights a day in the coming weekend. Passengers affected by this decision have, of course, been rebooked onto other flights.
