KLM calls for Brexit compromise while preserving `EU philosophy'

KLM announced a boost in flights to London City airport and said it favours a “liberal” Brexit deal that would maintain maximum access for UK and continental airlines. KLM has held talks with the Dutch govt about the split and made clear the importance of safeguarding UK operations, CE Pieter Elbers said Wednesday. Britain is the carrier’s second-biggest market with 6m seats, on flights to 17 airports including London City, where it is doubling frequencies to 8 a day. “The delicate balance we need to find here is how we keep the European philosophy alive and yet not create a situation which is going to be bad for business,” Elbers said. Discussions with Dutch authorities include “mapping what could be possible scenarios and possible ways to go forward.” <br/>
