Hailstorm damage at AMS!
Transavia appear to be having severe operational problems with aircraft being taken out of service for checks due to hailstone damage! Has anybody else heard about this and have any other carriers been impacted? Would presume KLM must have been hit hard as well (no pun intended).
Below is a quote from the Transavia website in a Q&A section
transavia is subjecting part of its fleet to a preventive inspection with regard to possible hail damage. Hail damage was discovered on one aircraft during normal maintenance activities conducted in the hangar. Since this may have been caused by the brief but severe hailstorm at Schiphol during the night of 25 to 26 May, transavia.com has decided to inspect all the aircraft that were on the ground at Schiphol that night.

KLM also had some aircraft damaged, but they had spare capacity in their own fleet to handle it. KLM Cityhopper has flown a lot for them.
Transavia had to lease quite some capacity but they seem to handle well
