You can contact KLM and ask if you can arrange alternative yourself. I did that when I was stranded in Nairobi and KLM repaid me for the ticket I bought on KQ and offered me a €800 voucher for the inconvience.
(I had to get out of Nairobi ASAP as my youngest son had his first school play and I would have been murdered by miss guggenheimer if I had missed that)
