Dutch national carrier KLM said it favors a “liberal” Brexit deal that would maintain maximum access for U.K. and continental airlines, after announcing plans to double flights to London City airport starting next month.
KLM has held talks with the Dutch government about the split and made clear the importance of safeguarding U.K. operations, Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers said Wednesday. Britain is the carrier’s second-biggest market with 6 million annual seats on flights to 17 airports including London City, which it will serve eight times each weekday from May 15.
