This situation has forced KLM to temporarily consolidate its flight operations on two hubs in the region: Dubai and Teheran. This consolidation will still enable KLM to offer daily and on most days twice-daily flights to and from the region. Depending on demand, KLM will fly a Boeing 747 to/from Dubai, effective 25 March. All flights will be operated as long as a safe and reliable journey can be guaranteed.
KLM's own service and reservations staff and its travel agents in the GCC will pro-actively assist customers with rebooking their original reservations through Dubai and offer other solutions when necessary.
KLM will reinstate the flight operations to and from the affected destinations in the region as soon as the situation allows.
KLM flies non-stop between Dubai and Amsterdam with excellent onward connections into all of Europe and to North America.
