SCHIPHOL, WILLEMSTAD - In any case, KLM adjusts its seat capacity if there is demand for it. This is according to spokesperson Samira Pieters from KLM in the Caribbean says. With this she responds to CEO Harm Kreulen who recently stated in Luchtvaartnieuws.nl that a dip in supply and demand is expected in 2020.

This is compensated by the replacement of the 747 with 408 seats by the Dreamliner 787-10 with 64 seats less per flight.

Pieters says that definitive choices have not yet been made for the flight operation for summer next year and that KLM will always scale up if demand increases. "We always adjust our available fleet during the summer and winter, if there is reason to do so."

KLM ultimately expects growth when the new hotels of Corendon and Marriott are ready. "If Corendon decides to buy a large number of seats, we would be crazy if KLM would not respond," said spokesperson Pieters.

For this summer there are two extra flights per week in April and May with the Airbus 330-200. In addition, KLM still has the extra three flights that fly to Curaçao via St. Maarten since Hurricane Irma in September 2017. In addition to the daily operation of the Boeing 747-400, this results in a total of twelve flights per week.

The 747-400 will continue to fly daily for the coming winter. But the three flights from Sint Maarten via Curaçao will be canceled. This will be a direct service Amsterdam-Sint Maarten twice a week. In the coming winter period, KLM will also have additional flights with an Airbus 330-200 rising from two to four times a week to Curaçao.
