The second wave of corona virus in Europe led to new locks and prompted KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to make network adjustments for the coming period. KLM will continue to serve as many destinations as possible, but reduce seat capacity and flight frequency, the airline announced Thursday evening.

In the coming months, KLM will serve around 90-95 percent of the European destinations it served before the crisis. The service is being discontinued for a number of destinations, mainly in the UK. The total capacity on board European flights will be reduced from around 50 to 40 percent compared to the values ​​before Corona. In terms of intercontinental service, the number of passenger flights will be around 50-60 percent of the pre-corona level.

“Unfortunately, the second wave has resulted in new restrictions across Europe, not just in the Netherlands. The capacity will therefore be reduced again in the coming period. KLM will keep its existing network strategy and even add several new destinations. Depending on the development, further adjustments will be made in the coming period, ”said the airline.
