This was announced by the company's CEO, Marian Rintel, in an interview with BNR radio station, Ukrinform reports.
“KLM intends to apply to the Dutch government for compensation for lost revenue during the NATO summit, which will be held in June in The Hague, said KLM CEO Marian Rintel,” the report says.
It was previously reported that due to the summit and parallel runway maintenance at Schiphol Airport, KLM will be forced to reduce the number of flights by 20% for several days.
“We will definitely talk to the government and demand compensation,” Rintel said, without specifying the amount in question.
It is noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the State Administration for Supervision of Legal Compliance, is working to establish a center for considering compensation applications for companies and organizations that fear that they may suffer losses as a result of the NATO summit, which will take place on June 24 and 25 in The Hague. Parties that believe that they have suffered losses will be able to submit an application for compensation.
