Two KLM Boeing 777 Operated Flights Makes U-Turn to Amsterdam

AMSTERDAM- Two KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL) Boeing 777 aircraft encountered technical difficulties forcing their return to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport (AMS) on Sunday evening (December 29, 2024).

Both aircraft executed safe landings with no reported injuries among passengers or crew members.

Two KLM Flights U-Turn

KLM Flight KL835, destined for Bali (DPS) with a scheduled Singapore (SIN) stopover, departed Schiphol Airport at 9:54 p.m. local time, NL Times reported.

The aircraft detected technical anomalies while traversing German airspace, prompting its return to Amsterdam. The plane touched down safely at approximately 11:30 p.m.

The KL835 flight operated by Boeing 777-306(ER), registered as PH-BVS. Further, it is a 7.9-year-old aircraft powered by GE90 engines.

Simultaneously, KLM Flight KL895, operating the Amsterdam-Shanghai route, departed Schiphol at 2:33 p.m.

The aircraft developed complications with its drinking water system while flying over Azerbaijan. The flight crew initiated return protocols, bringing the aircraft back to Schiphol, where it landed around 11:30 p.m.

The Flight KL895 was operated by Boeing 777-206(ER), registered as PH-BQD. Further, it is a 21.1-year-old aircraft.

These incidents occurred just one day after a separate KLM flight faced difficulties during its Oslo-Amsterdam journey. The Saturday flight diverted to another Norwegian airport following unusual noise during takeoff.

The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway at low speed, coming to rest in adjacent grass. Emergency response teams successfully evacuated six crew members and all passengers, facilitating their transport to Amsterdam the following day.
