FNV Catering has called for a nationwide strike on Thursday, 19 December. Unfortunately, passengers flying with KLM to European destinations will again be inconvenienced by the 24-hour work stoppage to be observed by employees at KLM Catering Services (KCS). As a necessary precaution, catering will be kept to a minimum on European flights after 20:00 hours on Wednesday, 18 December. Unfortunately, delays cannot be ruled out because of this.

Catering will return to normal on European flights departing from Schiphol from the morning of Friday, 20 December. European flights arriving early in the morning at Schiphol will still carry minimal catering on board.

Duty-free sales will also be suspended on intercontinental flights during this period. The work stoppage will not have an impact on catering on intercontinental flights.
