KLM cancels 160 Schiphol flights in May as kerosene prices squeeze profitability
KLM says it will cancel 160 flights to and from Amsterdam Schiphol in May—cutting about 80 round trips—after sharply higher kerosene prices made certain intra-European routes uneconomic. The carrier stresses there is no fuel shortage and will rebook passengers on the next available options, mainly on high-frequency markets such as London and Düsseldorf.
