“While the situation remains unsatisfactory in some key airports – notably impacting KLM at its Amsterdam Schiphol hub – we saw significant improvements following the operational challenges that had erupted earlier this year,” commented Benjamin Smith, Air France-KLM’s group CEO on the results.
Earlier, the other European carriers such as IAG and Lufthansa Group had also said that they had witnessed a strong recovery in business travel.
