KLM Operates Beyond Capacity to Help Stranded Passengers

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will deploy more than its usual maximum capacity to bring stranded passengers home. Effective Thursday, April 22, KLM will operate its entire intercontinental schedule and almost all of its European services. In addition, KLM will operate extra flights to ensure that passengers and cargo are transported more quickly.

This is possible through cooperation with SkyTeam partners. Delta Airlines will take on three KLM flights for the coming period (New York JFK and Atlanta) freeing up capacity for KLM. Partner Kenya Airways will deploy a larger aircraft type on the Nairobi-Amsterdam route.

Extra capacity will also be deployed on the routes to Curacao, Paramaribo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Shanghai, Osaka, Lima, Sao Paulo, San Francisco and Cairo.
