Because of the current crisis in Ukraine, we have adjusted our flight routes and schedules. We continue to monitor the situation and will inform you here once there’s an update.
Impacted routes
On 12 February 2022, we decided to suspend our flights to Kyiv. This suspension was extended until further notice on 24 February 2022, following the closure of Ukrainian airspace.
In light of the current situation in the region, we’ve decided to suspend our flights to and from Russia and our flights through Russian airspace until further notice as of 26 February 2022. As a result, we have suspended our flights to and from Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
Does the flight suspension impact your travel plans? Check your ticket conditions to learn more about your options to rebook or request a refund.
Safety
Safety and security of our flights, customers, and crews is an absolute necessity. We always put the safety of passengers and employees first. Choosing safe and optimal routes is a standard part of our daily practice. We’re constantly monitoring the geopolitical situation in all areas we serve, to ensure the highest level of flight safety.
To determine safe flight routes, we use a security management system to analyse risks. For this, we also use information that is shared within the Dutch expert group, including all Dutch airlines, the intelligence services, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NCTV, and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Our decision not to fly over or to a specific country is based on the most current analysis at that time.
Aeroflot
Air France and KLM have temporarily suspended cooperation with Aeroflot, including the suspension of codeshare agreements and frequent flyer partnership.
