KLM will cancel 100 flights due to a ground crew strike, impacting 27,000 passengers. The strike is part of ongoing labor disputes despite recent agreements.
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - KLM, the Dutch arm of airline group Air France KLM, will cancel 100 flights on Wednesday after ground crew announced a two hour-strike, a spokesperson for KLM said on Tuesday, confirming a report by Dutch News Agency ANP.
The cancelled flights will affect 27,000 passengers, the spokesperson added.
KLM reached an agreement with some labour unions last week, but ongoing labor disputes on a collective labour agreement continue as the two unions that were not part of the deal said they would move forward with strike action.
A two-hour strike by ground staff is planned Wednesday morning, followed by a four-hour strike next Wednesday, September 17, also in the morning.
