KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the cabin crew labor unions have implemented a new collective labor agreement.
Salaries will be increased by a total of 3.25%: 1% on December 1, 2025, 1.25% on July 1 this year, and 1% on January 1, 2027. In addition, a one-time payment of 750 euros will be paid in January this year.
The “80-90-100” scheme, under which older employees work 80% of full-time hours for 90% of the salary while maintaining 100% of their pension contributions, has been made permanent. A return-to-flying policy has also been introduced for employees who have been transferred to ground positions.
The agreement was reached with three labor unions: VNC, FNV Cabine, and De Unie. Following a vote by union members, a majority were in favor. The agreement is retroactively effective from March 1, 2025, and will remain in force until February 28, 2027.
