KLM Strike Cancels 119 Flights at Schiphol
KLM strike: 119 flights were cancelled at Amsterdam Schiphol on September 24, 2025.
The airline announced the cancellations for Wednesday, September 24, 2025 after ground staff at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport began industrial action over pay and working conditions. The affected schedule includes both short-haul European services and intercontinental routes, with knock-on effects for passengers holding onward connections.
Passengers were advised to check KLM’s official channels and contact the airline for rebooking or refunds. Airport operations at Schiphol (AMS) continued for unaffected services, but travellers should expect longer queues, delayed connections, and limited ground handling support.
KLM strike disrupts schedules and connections
KLM said the action would create “significant disruption” across its network as aircraft, crew rotations, and ground handling all require coordination. Because many long-haul flights depend on local ground teams for baggage handling and servicing, cancellations can cascade through the day’s timetable and beyond.

Travel tips: arrive early if you must travel through Schiphol, keep electronic boarding passes accessible, and save receipts for any extra expenses in case you claim compensation. If you have a connecting ticket, confirm whether KLM will reroute or refund you; EU passenger rights may apply for assistance and compensation depending on your itinerary.
The industrial action is part of ongoing labour disputes in the aviation sector, where ground staff across Europe have pushed for higher pay and better working conditions. Local negotiations and union statements may provide updates, so passengers and freight customers should monitor announcements through the rest of the week.
