KLM offers employees €1000 and structural pay increase
Today, KLM presented all unions with a concrete wage proposal: a one-time payment of €1000 in 2025 and a structural salary increase of up to 2.5% by July 2026, depending on the company’s financial performance in 2025.
KLM’s offer to the unions includes the following:
- Duration: KLM proposes a 22-month collective labour agreement (CLA) for all employees. Each of the four CLAs at KLM covers employment terms relevant to its specific employee group.
- Wages: For all four CLAs, KLM offers:
- A one-time payment of €1000 for all employees in 2025
- A structural salary increase of up to 2.5% per 1 July 2026
The structural increase as of July 2026 is linked to KLM’s operating result (COI). If KLM achieves a COI margin of at least 5.5% for the 2025 fiscal year, all employees will receive the full 2.5% raise. If the result is lower, the increase will be reduced accordingly, but will be at least 0.5%.
With this proposal, KLM believes there is sufficient basis for reaching an agreement with all unions. CLA negotiations will resume on 10 July.
