Netherlands agrees to contribute E3.4b to Air France-KLM bailout

The Dutch government has reached a deal with France to contribute E3.4b to an Air France-KLM bailout that had strained relations between the airline group’s state shareholders, sources said. The agreement will see the Netherlands issue direct loans and guarantees to KLM and appoint a trustee to its board, two people with knowledge of the matter said. Air France-KLM and the French finance ministry declined to comment, but the Dutch finance ministry later announced a Friday morning news conference to “detail the financial aid package for KLM”. A statement that briefly appeared on the group website also mentioned its E3.4b value. <br/>
