Pilot Shortage: KLM Boeing 777 Flights To New York-JFK Will Operate With Air France Crew

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’ flights from Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport (AMS) to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), operated with a Boeing 777, are set to be temporarily crewed by its group partner, Air France. The news follows a February 2025 decision allowing KLM pilots to train on Air France’s Airbus A350s, marking the start of this type of collaboration.
