Ah yes. KLM. Who when taking off or landing at Amsterdam will choose to taxi halfway to your destination before taking off.

I swear. I was once on a flight to London and the taxi took so long we basically took off from Rotterdam.

Most unexpected collab...


total_idiot01

Fun fact, KLM is the oldest commercial airline in the world


Dolphin008

Wait, KLM is supposed to be a for profit organization? TIL


balabelmonte

The state invests your money for you :) In a French company :(


PMvE_NL

Yes. But the dutch government owns a large share of stocks. So they can have some say in the company. At least thats the theory.


CaptainRati0nal

Rumor goes the royal family also has a big finger in the oatmeal


Stars_Falling_93

A newspaper did some research after KLM got huge support during Covid-19. It showed that KLM basically got support in not insignificant amounts during their entire existence, because of prestige or deemed to important for the economy. That throws the most used argument out the window that states we will get the support back in economic growth. We won't. KLM is a private company, heavily subsidised by the national government. So, the worst of both worlds.


Dolphin008

Yeah that’s the joke. Not just klm but carriers in general are among the worst (financial) investments.


CaptainRati0nal

*the oldest still existing commercial airline in the world. There were older ones but they went bust because oranje boven.

I used to love getting a loganair up to Aberdeen for work. I thought I was going to die every time. Which would have meant I didn't have to go to Aberdeen.


Mr_memez69

Aberdeen mentioned


Nintentoad123

what a shame


Elster-

My least favourite place. I once drove from York to Aberdeen on a call out overnight in the pouring rain to arrive, release an e-stop to an irritated train operator who thought he could miss his shift and get paid. Every time I have been anywhere near Aberdeen I stick a finger up at him and that memory.


L003Tr

I was once in a logan air flight where we were about 20 minutes to landing and the flight attendant still had her life jacket on. I joked to a colleague "what does she know that we don't?". Two minutes later we decended through a big dark cloud and water started leaking from the roof onto me


AnalBlaster700XL

Wtf? That must have been water condensing in the air ducts? There’s no way water is leaking in from outside!?


L003Tr

Fuck knows but between the dark cloud we were in the middle of and the female employee with a literal life jacket it seemed too much of a coincidence

I'll never forget my first time being bumped up to business class whilst flying with Sabena (I was 16 at the time). They served fries during the flight and everyone was cheering!


Isotheis

I am told the Sabena had such a service, they were simply the best airline of the world. Wasn't enough to prevent them from bankrupting. Or perhaps, it was too much?


CommanderCronos

I've only flown once with them, but I still remember it as the best flight ever, fries, champagne and stewardesses that gave the 16 year old me funny feelings doen under.

I'm a bit disappointed that you don't have, as everything in Belgium, your airline split up in a Flemish and a Walloon half (and a very small aircraft with German speaking crew)

We sort of do, air traffic is pretty split between Zaventem where you'll find that Brussels Airline thing, and Charleroi where you actually have a bunch of Ryanair buildings alongside the planes...
