KLM Cityhopper to cancel flights this summer after Embraer E195-E2 engine issues

Share

KLM Cityhopper, a subsidiary of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, has announced that it will be reducing a limited number of flights during the upcoming summer season. The decision comes after engine issues with five of the fifteen Embraer E195’s. 

The specific details regarding the number of flights to be cancelled and the routes affected have not been disclosed in the article that was published by Dutch De Telegraaf. However, it is mentioned that KLM Cityhopper will maintain its focus on maintaining essential air connectivity within Europe.

KLM Cityhopper is in direct contact with Embraer and engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney to solve the engine issues. KLM CEO Marjan Rintel even flew to Brazil to discuss the issues.

KLM Cityhopper has deployed alternative capacity by retaining E190s that were to be returned to lease companies. Several wet lease agreements have also been signed.
