caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the company announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a

is part of the Air France-KLM group, had already announced 5,000 layoffs in July, reported AFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The reality is that the recovery is taking longer than we expected, especially for long distances, partly due to the international restrictions in place,&#8221; the airline reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/01\/airlines-are-facing-a-reduction-in-flights-worldwide.html\">Airlines are facing a reduction in flights worldwide.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KLM CEO Pieter Elbers explained that recent restrictions announced by the Netherlands, including bans on flights from the UK, South Africa and South America, &#8220;have added&#8221; problems for the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dutch media, the company will also have to cut its long-haul flights because of the additional covid-19 tests imposed by the government, which make it very difficult to send crews abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dutch government granted \u20ac3.4 billion (about $4 billion) in aid to KLM last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pilots also agreed to a five-year pay cut last November as part of the conditions for receiving the aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
