How KLM does on this route
Better or worse than the route itself?
Everyone flying Newcastle to Amsterdam hits the same airspace and the same two airports, so the honest question is not whether the route is busy, it is whether this airline handles it better or worse than the others on it.
KLM flies 89% of this route, so the right-hand column is mostly its own flights being averaged back at it. The comparison that means something here is against the rest of its network.
Against its own network it is about the same as usual: KLM lands on time 70.4% of the time across all 34,017 of its UK flights a year, against 69.9% here.
In money terms: about 22 flights a year on this route land 3 hours or more late, which is about 1 flight in 140. Everyone on board one of those is owed £220 each, so a full aircraft is a five-figure bill for KLM.
