KLM flights to Athens have always been packed till the rim in the summer. So I am also quite baffled by the decision to cut 50% of the capacity at the end of spring, right at the moment the demand will grow a lot for the summer.
I agree that they are v. full in summer--and often in winter too. However the biz class sections always seem particularly empty....may impact profitability of flight...
