NEW YORK-<\/strong> The US carrier JetBlue (B6) Airways<\/a> is calling on the U.S. Department of Transportation to prohibit Royal Dutch KLM (KL)<\/a> from operating at New York (JFK) Airport<\/a> in the event that JetBlue is unable to maintain its flights to and from Schiphol<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American budget airline is reiterating its opposition to the proposed reduction of operations planned by the Dutch government at Schiphol Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JetBlue Wants Ban on KLM Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JetBlue is concerned that it may lose its airport slots due to decreased flight movements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company had previously appealed to the U.S. government in Washington to respond to a potential ban at Schiphol by reducing KLM’s access at American airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent letter, JetBlue explicitly advocates for a complete prohibition on KLM’s operations to and from JFK, John F. Kennedy International Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be a “proportional” response, according to JetBlue. The airline also suggests that the U.S. government could explore temporarily revoking specific exemptions for KLM and the broader airline alliance to which KLM belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amsterdam Schiphol Aiport Downsizing Plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JetBlue, which commenced operations between Schiphol and the United States<\/a> as recently as August, is apprehensive about the downsizing plans proposed for Amsterdam’s airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch government aims to reduce the number of flight movements from 500,000 to 460,000 by April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JetBlue has gleaned from discussions with the Dutch slot coordinator that its newly acquired take-off and landing rights are at risk of being revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, JetBlue highlights that the United States has legislation enabling the government to respond to the perceived unfair treatment of U.S. airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JetBlue’s proposal also includes the possibility of KLM reallocating a portion of its own Schiphol landing rights to JetBlue for the upcoming summer season, thereby enabling JetBlue to sustain its operations at Schiphol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
