Indeed, but the cargo-only destinations are designated as such in the list, and SIN wasn't amongst them.

Nevertheless, KL835 is showing as scheduled for this evening. Whether it will fly remains to be seen, but an ATC record has been created and a tail number (PH-BVC) has been assigned. And yesterday's KL835 (PH-BVN) arrived at SIN today at 4.52 p.m. local time.

There's also schedule changes, including some weird ones - KL791 (AMS-GRU) is going from a day flight (leaving AMS at 10) to a red-eye, leaving just before 10 PM, arriving in Brazil at 5 in the morning.

KL is adjusting schedules to ensure that as many crews as possible can stay with the aircraft and return to AMS without having to spend a night at their destination.

And also to maintain as much connectivity with the scaled down European network. That would point to moving the remaining longhauls towards evening departure, after local flights do midday-ish rotations.

Don't know when the flights return tho.

The FA unions have now presented KL with a list of demands. These include:

- Flights to JFK to cease immediately

- Separation of pax by keeping middle seats free

- No contact between crew and pax whatsover. At take-off and landing crew take their assigned seats. During the flight they are to remain in the galley at all times, dire emergencies excepted. Gloves and masks to be worn for the entire flight.

- No in-flight service of any kind. Meal boxes to be placed on seats before boarding commences.

- Health screening of all pax before boarding.

I guess it's a good thing these unions are not representing doctors, nurses or other health care professionals. Or bus drivers, grocery store employees or anybody else who in a professional capacity may actually come into contact with a real human being.

KL835 took off for SIN a few minutes ago. It departed from gate E20, so presumably with pax.

Thanks for highlighting that notice. Things are not looking good.

You really should not be planning any discretionary travel for the foreseeable future anyway.

KL has now announced extra corona measure on JFK flights. Henceforth, all aisle seats will be blocked. The intention is to increase the separation between seated pax and crew members walking down the aisle. That the effect may well be to force pax into middle seats and thus decrease the separation between the pax themselves to below the recommended minimum is apparently of no concern. Other airlines have announced that all middle seats will be blocked, so priorities apparently differ.

Johan

Since AMS-JFK is now served by the 78X that would indeed mean that Y pax can only occupy a middle seat.
And that none of the WBC seats can be occupied...
