The corona crisis has a huge impact on the various airlines. Tourism worldwide has been hugely affected by the consequences of the corona crisis. Many planes are still on the ground. Due to limited capacity at Schiphol, KLM will park twelve aircraft at Groningen Airport Eelde from 28 October next winter season. It concerns two Airbus A330 and ten Boeing 737 aircraft. This is necessary because KLM flies much less due to the consequences of the corona crisis and more aircraft are unused on the ground.

KLM will fly less in the upcoming winter timetable compared to the same period in 2019. The timetable for the European network in November is currently around 49% of the capacity in 2019. KLM has been keeping a large part of the service since the start of the 2020 summer season. the fleet aground. Earlier In March this year, the Aalsmeerbaan at Schiphol was used as a parking space for a number of months.

To keep the aircraft airworthy during this period, KLM is conducting an active parking program, in which KLM Engineering & Maintenance employees conduct periodic inspections. The aircraft are well protected against weather influences. In addition, the program enables KLM to make the aircraft ready for use again quickly when possible again. KLM reports this on them website.
