Impacted routes

On 12 February 2022, we decided to suspend our flights to Kyiv. This suspension was extended until further notice on 24 February 2022, following the closure of Ukrainian airspace.

In light of the current situation in the region, we’ve decided to suspend our flights to and from Russia and our flights through Russian airspace until further notice as of 26 February 2022. As a result, we have suspended our flights to and from Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Does the flight suspension impact your travel plans? Check your ticket conditions to learn more about your options to rebook or request a refund.

Safety and security of our flights, customers, and crews is an absolute necessity. We always put the safety of passengers and employees first. Choosing safe and optimal routes is a standard part of our daily practice. We’re constantly monitoring the geopolitical situation in all areas we serve, to ensure the highest level of flight safety.

To determine safe flight routes, we use a security management system to analyse risks. For this, we also use information that is shared within the Dutch expert group, including all Dutch airlines, the intelligence services, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NCTV, and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Our decision not to fly over or to a specific country is based on the most current analysis at that time.

Air France and KLM have temporarily suspended cooperation with Aeroflot, including the suspension of codeshare agreements and frequent flyer partnership.

KLM operating direct flights to 162 destinations this winter

KLM’s new winter schedule goes into effect on 31 October and is valid until 26 March 2022. As more and more travel restrictions are eased, KLM will be able to increase capacity again this winter and, as a result, plans to operate direct flights from Amsterdam to 162 different destinations, 72 intercontinental and 90 within Europe.

Intercontinental: More flights to the US, Caribbean

KLM has resumed operating services to almost its entire pre-Covid network (one destination excepted). Intercontinental flights will be operating at around 75% of capacity this winter compared to winter 2019.

Now that vaccinated European travellers will again be welcome in the United States starting 8 November, KLM will expand capacity to various US destinations. The number of flights to Atlanta, for example, will almost double to 12 a week, and there will be 11 weekly flights to New York JFK this winter. KLM will also serve Las Vegas and Miami this winter, both three times a week. Service to Minneapolis, which resumed in the summer, will also continue this winter with three weekly flights.

KLM began noticing a sharp rise in demand for travel to the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands this summer. That is why the airline is also expanding capacity to the Caribbean and will double the number of flights to Curaçao to 14 a week. It will also boost daily capacity on the route to Aruba and Bonaire by deploying a Boeing 777-300ER, its largest passenger aircraft. To meet anticipated demand during the Christmas holiday season, KLM is planning three additional weekly flights to these islands, bringing the total number of weekly flights to Aruba and Bonaire to ten by the end of the year.

The KLM network is also showing signs of recovery in South America, with four flights a week to San José and Liberia in Costa Rica (up from two last winter) and daily service to Panama City. Capacity on the route to Paramaribo will also increase considerably this winter, with four weekly flights (compared to one last winter due to strict travel restrictions). KLM’s longest scheduled service, non-stop from Amsterdam to Santiago de Chile, will continue this winter with three weekly flights.

This winter will see the introduction of four entirely new destinations: Mombasa, Cancún, Port of Spain and Bridgetown. The first flight to Cancún in Mexico will take off on 2 November, with five weekly flights during the Christmas holiday season. This will bring the total number of weekly KLM flights to Mexico to 12. The first (combined) flight to Port of Spain in Trinidad & Tobago and Bridgetown in Barbados took off on 16 October and will eventually operate three times a week. Scheduled service to Mombasa in Kenya is expected to commence in early December; KLM is currently in the process of obtaining the necessary flight permits from the Kenyan authorities.

KLM’s Asian network is still hampered by travel restrictions. As a result, demand for these flights lags behind those for other regions. The demand for cargo transport to and from Asia remains high, however, allowing KLM to continue serving many of its destinations this winter season.

In Europe, KLM is meeting the sharp rise in demand for both holiday and business travel. New destinations such as Zagreb and Poznan proved popular soon after their introduction this summer and KLM plans to continue operating these services this winter. With their addition, the number of European destinations served by KLM will in fact exceed that of winter 2019.

In many cases, the number of flights to European destinations is still slightly down on pre-Covid-19 figures. KLM is operating at about 84% of its European network capacity. Even so, the airline is once again serving Europe’s major cities, including Berlin, London, Munich and Paris, at least five times a day. This makes KLM’s winter schedule, with more flights than in the summer, attractive for the growing number of European business travellers. By increasing the number of flights in Europe, KLM will once again be able to connect many European locations through Amsterdam Schiphol, boosting the airport’s status as a global hub.

“After more than 18 months, more and more borders are reopening and we are well on the road to recovery. KLM is delighted that we can once again offer passengers so many destinations. We look forward to doing what we do best: bringing people together. Travel is all about personal connections, and that’s what KLM stands for!”

Where can I fly tool

KLM appreciates how difficult it can be to plan a trip during the Covid-19 pandemic. Travel rules and restrictions are changing constantly and vary from country to country, making it more important than ever for travellers to have the most up-to-date information when planning a journey. That is why KLM is offering an interactive “Where can I fly to?” map showing current travel requirements for every country in KLM’s network. The map displays travel requirements based on travellers’ country of departure and vaccination status, so they can choose their next destination at a glance.

In addition to this service, KLM advises Dutch travellers to consult www.wijsopreis.nl for up-to-date travel advisories issued by the Dutch government.

KLM: Outstanding hygiene standards, flexible bookings and five stars from passengers

KLM sets the highest possible standards for hygiene before, during and after flights. It has been awarded the APEX Health Safety Diamond Award and the Skytrax COVID-19 Airline Excellence Award, recognition of its industry leadership in hygiene and health safety.

KLM also offers customers maximum flexibility when it comes to booking, changing or cancelling trips. Yet another feather in KLM’s cap is that it has retained its five-star APEX product and service rating, based on evaluations by passengers worldwide.

At the moment, the destinations, flights and capacities described above are valid for the months of November and December. Given the many travel restrictions that remain and their unpredictability, changes may be necessary from January onwards.

Customers who have been vaccinated can click on the “I am fully vaccinated” button to view travel requirements suited to their status. Once they select a destination, they are directed to KLM’s TravelDoc website, where they can view detailed travel requirements for that location.

In addition, KLM says that it offers customers maximum flexibility when it comes to booking, changing or cancelling their trips.

Keyamo calls on Air France-KLM to lower ticket prices for Nigerian travellers

Caleb Obiowo

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has urged Air France-KLM to reduce ticket prices for Nigerian travellers to make air travel more accessible and affordable.

This request was presented during a meeting with the Air France-KLM delegation, which included Country Manager Christine Quantin, Key Account Manager of the Commercial Division Antonia Umunna, and Deputy Station Manager Damilola Ogunseye.

The details of this meeting were captured in a statement released by Mr. Tunde Moshood, the Minister’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications, in Lagos on Monday.

Keyamo emphasized his administration’s open-door policy and collaboration with airlines to improve travel access, urging Air France-KLM to match their Nigerian ticket prices with those in neighbouring regions for competitive pricing.

The Air France-KLM team praised Minister Keyamo’s successful fund repatriation efforts, which reflect his commitment to resolving challenges in Nigeria’s aviation sector. They commended his role in improving collaboration with aviation regulatory agencies and lauded the upgraded facilities at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, particularly wing E.

Additionally, Air France-KLM announced the introduction of their new Airbus A330/A350 aircraft, reinforcing their commitment to upgrade air travel in Nigeria with state-of-the-art services to enhance the flight experience for Nigerian travelers.

What you should know.

  • For an extended period of time, foreign airlines stopped offering low-priced tickets on Nigerian routes after millions of dollars in ticket revenue became trapped within the country, resulting in significantly higher fares for Nigerian travelers compared to neighboring countries.
  • In March 2024, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) addressed this issue by clearing the backlog of unremitted ticket revenues , an effort highlighted by Minister of Aviation Keyamo.
  • Despite the CBN’s efforts, the reduction in fares charged to Nigerian travelers by these airlines was not substantial, leading the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to establish a committee to tackle the high international airfare costs. This committee was charged with analyzing all factors affecting airfare prices and finding ways to lower them.
  • Following the committee’s recommendations and subsequent negotiations, the NCAA reported a major breakthrough: most international airlines agreed to reduce their ticket prices for Nigerian travelers.
  • The most significant reduction came on the Lagos-London route when Air Peace introduced fares much lower than those of foreign airlines, which in turn forced these airlines to lower their prices even further. Air Peace Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Allen Onyema described this tactic as an attempt by foreign airlines to drive Air Peace out of business, accusing them of pricing tickets below their break-even points.
