MMEman

Seems your recent rumour on PPRune about KLM withdrawing from MME has been quoted word for word in today’s Northern Echo, as well as reaching staff at the airport. Never thought I’d ever see the day when a local journo printed anything other than the media spin supplied by MME, so good for him for following it up.

The article goes on to say :-

A spokeswoman for KLM said yesterday: “We are cancelling some destinations, and I understand everybody is talking about these things because of the difficult times. “But there is absolutely no talk of cancelling the AMS-MME route.”
Robin Tudor, from Peel Airports, which owns the airport, has also said KLM would “definitely not” go.
