KLM Royal Dutch Airlines president and CEO Pieter Elbers stated the carrier's growth at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport will be restricted in 2018 due to slot scarcity (luchtvaartnieuws.nl, 10-Jan-2018). KLM "will not be able to fly everything we [wanted to]", according to Mr Elbers. "We want to grow and create jobs, but in recent years many slots have been given away, partly as a result of the Airline Reward Programme", he said.
