Dutch flag carrier KLM NV has called on the European Union to come up with measures to counter “unfair” competition from Chinese airlines that are cleared to fly over Russia’s airspace.

“Europe can at least look at how we can prevent that unfair playing field by pricing it or looking at it in a different way,” KLM Chief Executive Officer Marjan Rintel said in an interview with the WNL television program on Sunday.
