KLM reshapes cargo handling as AI demand fuels growth 

KLM plans to consolidate cargo handling at Schiphol to accommodate additional freight without hiring more staff, as AI supply chains and disruption to ocean shipping strengthen parent Air France-KLM’s cargo business.

The changes form part of a wider restructuring, announced today, aimed at improving KLM’s finances and its ability to fund investment.

Freight carried on passenger aircraft and freighters will be handled in KLM’s own warehouse at Schiphol, said the airline, adding that the consolidation would help attract more transfer freight and prepare for a new cargo terminal, scheduled for completion in 2035.

“The increased cargo volumes will ultimately be handled without hiring additional employees,” KLM said.
