Air France and Delta to Appoint New Ground Handling Partner at Schiphol

Air France and Delta have informed KLM of their decision to seek an alternative ground handling partner at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for their below-the-wing operations, including baggage loading and unloading. This process involves inviting proposals from other service providers, after which a final selection will be made to determine who will assume responsibility for these activities going forward. This decision has immediate operational implications for KLM, particularly for the Ground Services department. The financial and employment-related consequences of this decision are currently being assessed.
