KLM: Uncertainty surrounding possible closure of Manston (Kent)

From 10 April, KLM Cityhopper as an operating airline for KLM is suspending flights between Amsterdam and Manston (Kent, UK). The continuous uncertainty surrounding the future of the airport means KLM Cityhopper is unable to guarantee that flights to serve KLM-passengers can be operated. The airport is currently holding a consultation over the possible closure of Manston (Kent).

A KLM rebooking policy is in effect for passengers who are currently booked to travel between Amsterdam and Manston on or after 10 April. KLM will offer these passengers alternative flights via London Heathrow. It is currently not possible to book flights to or from Manston after April 9th 2014.

KLM Cityhopper launched a twice-daily Fokker 70 service to Manston in the summer of 2013.
