KLM

KLM plans to restart flights between Amsterdam and Tel Aviv on 25 August, featuring a safety-focused crew stopover in Cyprus. While Israeli airlines maintained the route throughout the recent six-month pause, KLM continues to restrict services to other regional hubs due to ongoing security risks.

KLM has cancelled three flights from Amsterdam to Entebbe, Uganda, due to international travel restrictions following an ebola outbreak in Central Africa. Other nations are currently blocking entry to individuals who have recently visited the Ugandan city, creating operational and scheduling logjams for the airline's flight crews. While KLM stresses that there is no active health risk to passengers, affected travellers have been rebooked onto alternative carriers.

KLM has extended its flight suspensions to Dubai, Riyadh, and Dammam through mid-summer due to safety concerns surrounding the Middle East conflict. The decision forces the airline to avoid key regional airspace, causing longer flight times and increased fuel costs across its remaining international routes. Affected passengers can claim full refunds or rebook their tickets as the carrier coordinates its next steps with government officials.

A Dutch passenger was removed from a KLM flight in Johannesburg shortly before dying from a rare strain of the hantavirus. Health authorities are now tracing other travellers due to the risks associated with the highly dangerous Andes variant. Passengers showing symptoms of fever or respiratory issues are urged to seek immediate medical attention.

The war in the Middle East is pushing Air France‑KLM’s fuel bill up by 2.4 billion dollars this year, with higher ticket prices and a trimmed growth plan the most visible effects for passengers.

Air France has prolonged flight suspensions to several destinations in the Middle East, including Tel Aviv, amid continuing security concerns. KLM has also extended cancellations, citing unsafe airspace and the ongoing conflict in the region.

KLM, together with its partner Air France, officially announced price increase for its long haul flights.

KLM has extended its suspension of flights to Dubai until 28 March due to the conflict in the Middle East. The airline has also paused services to Riyadh and Dammam while it evaluates regional safety. Affected passengers can rebook or request refunds as authorities continue to monitor the situation.
