End of KLM LHR-EIN?
From todays Daily Telegraph:
Pieter Elbers, KLM's network chief, said the joint venture's transatlantic services had grown by 40pc in the last two years to 275 flights a week. It represents 20pc-22pc of KLM's revenues and 10pc-15pc of Northwest's.
He said the pair had found take-off and landing slots for the new Heathrow services by "reshuffling our existing portfolio" rather than buying slots in the grey market, where they can change hands for more than £10m.
Between them, Air France-KLM own 27 Heathrow slot pairs. KLM, with 15, is dropping two flights to Eindhoven and one to Rotterdam and leasing the three slot pairs to Northwest. It is maintaining 10 daily flights to Amsterdam.
