Air-France KLM’s Transavia unit is scrapping 210 flights this summer as a shortage of planes limits passenger capacity during the peak travel season.
The low-cost airline was waiting to lease Boeing Co. 737 aircraft that were previously operated by Blue Air, a bankrupt Romanian airline, but late delivery and paperwork issues meant the planes couldn’t be deployed, the Dutch news agency ANP reported.
