KLM cancels flights over ground crew strikes

KLM canceled a total of 11 departures and 10 arrivals at Schiphol airport on Monday due to a strike by the Dutch airline's ground crew. All flights are within Europe.

The strike is happening between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. due to a conflict over a collective bargaining agreement. Union FNV wants an 8 percent wage increase over two years, a less flexible roster for ground crew, and for KLM to give more of its ground crew employees a permanent contract, according to NU.n. During negotiations, KLM did not agree to any of these demands.

FNV expects that a large part of the ground crew will take part in the strikes.

A spokesperson for KLM told the newspaper that the flights are canceled as a precaution, to help ensure that the rest of the Dutch airline's flights takeoff and land as on-time as possible.

The following KLM flights are canceled on Monday morning:
