AMSTERDAM (REUTERS) - KLM, the Dutch arm of Air France-KLM, said on Thursday (June 23) it would cancel a small number of existing flights through Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport this summer due to passenger caps.

KLM said it would limit the number of tickets it sells due to the caps imposed by the airport, which represent a 16 per cent reduction in the number of passengers that it and other airlines had planned to carry.

Passengers whose flights are cancelled are being offered a different flight on the same day, KLM said in a statement.
