After Air France, the Dutch part of the group has now been able to secure a state rescue package. This is granted in the form of loans.
After Lufthansa was able to finally sign off on its rescue package today, KLM also reports similar news: The Dutch government and the airline were able to agree on a multi-billion dollar support package - 3,4 billion euros are now to flow into the coffers.
The package had already been waved through by the responsible administrative board. The airline wants to survive the crisis financially, how aero.de reported. The financial injection is also intended to ensure the long-term survival of the oldest airline still in existence. Even before that, you weren't left empty-handed. Because at the beginning of May, Air France was also guaranteed a total of seven billion euros in state support. This means that the group can expect financial aid of over 10 billion euros, which come directly from the state or are secured by it.
