The LCC has unveiled a string of new routes, including the resumption of flights between London Southend and Amsterdam after an absence of three years.
Director of network and airports Neil Slaven says the LCC is making far more in-season network changes than it did previously, stressing that the airline is ready to respond to airports with the lowest costs.
Two new short-haul routes will start from Zurich and three from Geneva this summer, but the airline does not expect demand to pick-up until the third quarter of the year.
The LCC expects to fly just a quarter of its normal schedule over the coming months although looking ahead to next summer and two new seasonal bases will open in Spain and Portugal.
KLM plans to further expand its European and intercontinental flying in the coming months, restoring connectivity to 78% of the destinations it originally intended to serve this summer.
TAP Air Portugal is resuming flights to North America later this week, with New York the first destination to make its way back onto the airline’s schedule. Three new routes will also be added to its schedule from July 1.
