Amstelveen – 2009-03-02

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is suspending its Amsterdam-Aruba service effective 29 March, 2009. Passengers will be able to continue to fly between Amsterdam and Aruba with Martinair. Martinair is part of the KLM Group.

All passengers currently booked on KLM flights will be rebooked. Martinair will adjust its schedules and capacity to Aruba. Special guidelines are being issued for rebooking passengers who already have reservations with KLM.

The profitability of this service has been declining for some time. The current economic crisis and the Dutch ticket tax have further increased the pressures on this route’s results.
