I don't think we have seen the last of these birds. Many other countries will frieght them. Heard a rumor some countries are buying to militarise them.
I have flown KLM many times. The best airline in food and service,staff, etc. I flew from Piraeus, Greece to Amsterdam one time, all drinks complimentary. Never made it to London that night!
I believe they just wish to keep a low profile. Stay tuned to the future. According to a contact of mine at the BND they are already outfitting a newer aircracft.
Excellent comment on tariffs. I recently had a similar statement in a speech. Being British and have been in the USA for over 30 years, legally I might add, I have strong feelings about how US money is abused overseas. My first job in the UK army was driving Nukes around Germany. If we cut across a field the US/UK had to pay damages! Go figure!
