The airline said the new cuts come on top of 5,000 job losses in 2020. Separately, a coalition of Dutch airlines including KLM issued a statement saying they opposed a requirement for all inbound passengers to take a “fast” COVID-19 test within four hours of boarding a plane bound for the country.

“The Netherlands would be the only country in the world to adopt such far-reaching measures,” the companies said in a statement.
