KLM had another meltdown at AMS this weekend. About 50 flights were canceled. I'd call this a little hysterical exaggeration! Let's consider the facts: - KLM cancelled 21 return services (7%) due to staff shortages and operated 288 return flights on Saturday May 21st. - KLM cancelled 20 return serv...
Jump to postAny thoughts about reinstating LAX-AMS with the A333/A339 since KL is currently operating only one daily flight (78K). KLM is 2x daily on LAX-AMS in Summer 2022, so adding DL metal would bring it to 3x daily and that has proven too much capacity in 2018/2019. - LAX 13:55 - AMS 09:10 KL602/DL9468 78...
