The Dutch government supports KLM for an amount of 3.4 billion euros. The support consists of a guarantee for bank loans of up to 2.4 billion euros and a direct loan from the Dutch state of up to 1 billion euros. It has also been agreed with Air France-KLM that the unilateral notice period for termination of the so-called state guarantees, which safeguard Schiphol's hub function, will be extended from nine months to five years. As the largest user of Schiphol, KLM is crucial for the airport. With the extension of the notice period for termination, there is more certainty for KLM and Schiphol and therefore the public interest of the Netherlands.
