KLM UK Callsign

Anyone know why has KLM UK's callsign changed from 'UK' to 'KL'.
Many Thanks

Because KLMuk - now KLCuk (the former Air UK) is in the process of merging with KLM Cityhopper and adopting KLM callsigns in the process.

Hi,
As your probably aware KLMuk's callsign was "Ukay" so will most likely change to "KLM" in the merger process. :8

Thanks

The Buzz aircraft are operating under the 'Ukay' callsign until the end of March. As part of the sale of Buzz to Ryanair, KLM had to switch all of Buzz to a new company name (Buzzaway Ltd) and had to get a new AOC (or whatever the licence thing is called) for the new company. Therefore if Buzzaway Ltd are using 'Ukay'; KLM can't.
