KLM to adjust winter schedule frequencies
|KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will reduce the number of flights it had planned and, in so doing, curtail the growth it had intended for the 2015/2016 winter season. The adjustments will result in a half-million fewer seats than were previously planned. The winter season will run from 25 October to 26 March.
KLM will reduce flight frequencies to ten European destinations. Furthermore, frequencies to Africa, Japan, and Brazil will also be curtailed. KLM will do all it can to minimise any inconvenience to passengers.
The adjustments result from the fact that KLM’s revenues are under pressure. The pressure will force AIR FRANCE KLM to accelerate its plans to implement its Perform 2020 programme. KLM has introduced a broad range of initiatives to improve its competitive position, and speed is of the essence.
KLM has already reached an accord with the cabin crew and ground crew unions concerning a collective labour agreement. Further implementation depends on an accord with the pilots’ union (VNV), which has not yet agreed to much-needed productivity increases.
