KLM plans to resume Amsterdam services to Dubai, Riyadh and Dammam from 25 October 2026, subject to regional conditions, as part of its expanded winter schedule covering 164 destinations. Capacity will also increase across several long-haul markets, while Minneapolis returns and San Diego becomes a year-round destination. KLM is simultaneously introducing the first of 22 Airbus A350s, initially on Toronto before deployment to additional African and Canadian routes, while beginning the phase-out of its A330-200 fleet.

SAS will begin assessing ownership, leasing and Japanese equity-financing options for its 45 Embraer E195-E2s toward the end of 2026, ahead of deliveries from 2027. The fleet expansion supports plans to strengthen Copenhagen as a major hub, increase long-haul capacity and expand seats, routes and weekly connections through 2031.

A US court has accepted airBaltic’s voluntary Chapter 11 filing, allowing it to access financing and restructure obligations to creditors and lessors. The airline has secured a conditional €350 million financing commitment and aims to emerge by June 2027 with a smaller fleet and lower operating costs.
