Finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem wants to hold urgent talks with his French counterpart to discuss the future of Air France-KLM following media reports that the company is shifting flights and jobs from Schiphol to Paris.

The Financieele Dagblad said on Thursday that the parent company wants to move the flights to offset pilots’ complaints that the company’s growth is focused on the Dutch airline.

KLM sources told the FD that management are inclined to give way on this issue in a move to head off the strike planned by Air France pilots.

They are planning stop work from June 11 to 14, coinciding with the start of the European football championships – which could lead to up to 30% of flights being cancelled.

Air France-KLM has denied planning to take capacity from Schiphol and a news conference is planned for later on Thursday, the FD said.

The Dutch government has a 5.9% stake in KLM and the French state holds 17.6% of the Air France-KLM group.

No appointment has yet been reached for Dijsselbloem to meet his French counterpart, the FD said.
