KLM and Cabin Crew Unions Reach New Collective Labor Agreement for Cabin Staff

 

KLM has reached a negotiated agreement with the three cabin crew unions—VNC, FNV Cabine, and De Unie—for its cabin staff. Following a positive vote among union members, a new collective labor agreement (CLA) is now in place.

Duration and Salary Arrangements
The CLA will be effective for two years, retroactively from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2027. Employees will receive a total salary increase of 3.25%: 1% on December 1, 2025; 1.25% on July 1, 2026; and 1% on January 1, 2027. In addition, all cabin crew members will receive a one-time net payment of €750 in January 2026 (based on full-time employment).

Other Agreements
In addition to salary development, agreements have been made regarding work schedules, allowances, and sustainable employability. The 80-90-100 scheme will be extended, a new temporary early retirement (RVU) arrangement has been agreed, and a return policy is in place for those transferring to a ground position.
