VLM is being taken over by the entire Air France/KLM group and what we at VLM have heard from management is that it will still take a month or 2 for the deal to be approved, after which VLM will keep its name and operation. It is expected that VLM will take over KLM cityhopper's fokker 50's and crews and hopefully the F50 routes as well. KLC has previously announced that it would like to shed the F50 and fly an all jet fleet (this would be the F70/100 and the Embraer jets that are coming).
We will see what happens, I hope we can keep our current operation as it is right now along with management cuz they are great and im not waiting to be sucked up into the bigger KLM group. It will be interesting to see if possibilities open up for VLM crew to move up onto KLM's fleet.
