KLM reduces certain international flights

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has said it will adjust its flight schedule to various destinations, primarily in the Far East.

Capacity will be reduced on various routes, either by deployment of smaller aircraft or a reduction in frequency. KLM said its decision to do so is in response to declining demand, mainly as a result of SARS. The total reduction in capacity will amount to 3% in available ton-kilometers.

Flight frequency on the Amsterdam-Beijing route will be reduced from four to two weekly roundtrips.

Flight frequency on the Amsterdam-Hong Kong route will be reduced from seven to four weekly roundtrips.

Flight frequency on the Amsterdam-Shanghai route will be reduced from five to four weekly roundtrips.

Flight frequency on the Amsterdam-Singapore-Jakarta route will be reduced from seven to five weekly roundtrips.
