KLM stelt vluchten uit naar China

Bij KLM houden we de ontwikkelingen van de uitbraak van het Coronavirus in China nauwlettend in de gaten. Naar aanleiding van reeds gedane en te verwachten adviezen van nationale en internationale instanties zoals de WHO, zal KLM na dit weekend tot 9 februari 2020 ook de vluchten naar Beijing en Shanghai opschorten.

De vluchten vertrekkende vanaf Amsterdam op zondag 2 februari 2020 staan vooralsnog gepland om zoveel mogelijk klanten de gelegenheid te geven om vanuit Beijing en Shanghai naar Amsterdam terug te reizen. KLM volgt de ontwikkelingen van de uitbraak van het Coronavirus in China nauwgezet en heeft intensief contact met diverse nationale en internationale gezondheids- en luchtvaart instanties.

Voor onze klanten blijft de eerder aangekondigde soepele rebookpolicy voor China van kracht. Meer informatie is te vinden op: https://www.klm.com/home/nl/nl#/tab=hpTbFlightstatus Eerder kondigde KLM al aan alle vluchten op Chengdu, Hangzhou en Xiamen op te schorten.

Coronavirus. At KLM, we’re closely monitoring the developments of the Coronavirus outbreak in China. We base our decision-making on the information that KLM Health Services receives from globally recognised institutions, such as WHO (World Health Organisation), ECDC (European Center of Disease Control), RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment), IATA (International Air Transport Association), and CDCs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in China. We’re taking all necessary (precautionary) measures to ensure the health of our passengers and staff to the best of our abilities.

Based on the information that the authorities have currently provided us with, there doesn’t seem to be an immediate need to suspend the entire operation of our flights to China. We have, however, decided to make changes to our ordinary flight schedule.

As of Thursday 30 January 2020: Direct flights to Chengdu and Hangzhou are suspended. The number of weekly flights to Shanghai is reduced from 11 to 7 a week. As of Friday 31 January 2020: Direct flights to Xiamen are suspended. The number of flights to Beijing remains unchanged at 7 per week. The above-mentioned flight adjustments will be effective until Saturday 29 February 2020.

Furthermore, we have taken various additional precautions. For example, upon request, we provide face masks to our crew members, which may be used on board and at destinations. Also, general hygiene measures - such as frequent hand-washing, consuming animal products only when they’re well-cooked and avoiding contact with animals - have once again been brought to the attention of our staff. The general guidelines of WHO and RIVM are being followed. 查看中文版本>

基于目前权威机构所发布的信息，暂时并无紧急关闭中国航线的必要。然而，我们仍决定对常规航班进行以下改动。

暂停成都和杭州的直飞航班

每周飞往上海的航班从原来的11班改为7班

自2020年1月31日星期五起：

此外，我们还采取了多种额外防范措施。例如，我们会根据需求向机组人员发放口罩，用于机上和到达。另外，我们也再次提醒员工注意一般卫生措施，如勤洗手、只进食煮熟的动物产品以及避免接触动物。严格遵守世界卫生组织以及国家公共卫生及环境研究院的卫生总则。
