There is one repatriation scheduled this week to Amsterdam.
Repatriation flight to Amsterdam on May 6
KLM will fly from Curaçao to Amsterdam via St. Maarten on Wednesday, May 6. This created an option to fly directly from St. Maarten to Schiphol on the evening of Wednesday, May 6. This flight will NOT bring people into St. Maarten. It is a repatriation flight.
This is a normal KLM flight for which the normal procedures and tariffs apply. This means you will have to book the flight yourself by going to the KLM website (
www.klm.com) or contacting KLM by phone (+31 20 4747 747).
The flight number is KL738. The way to book this flight on the app or website is by going to the option 'one way trip' or 'enkele reis' first, instead of going to the calender. If you already have a KLM/AirFrance ticket for another date, you will have to rebook your ticket through this system. We expect that there will be much interest for this flight, so we would advice you to book as soon as possible.
All persons from the EU and Schengen area will be allowed on board with a valid KLM ticket.
If you have another nationality, you will not be allowed to enter the EU, but you are allowed to transfer on Schiphol Airport. This means that you will have to be able to show a transfer ticket from Schiphol to your destination outside of the EU on ten same day (being May 7th). Without such a transfer ticket, you will not be allowed on the KLM flight.
It is very unsure if there will be any other flights from St. Maarten to the Netherlands in the coming period. If you need to go to the Netherlands, it is strongly advised to book the ticket for this flight as soon as possible.
Also, note that coming back to St. Maarten in the coming period will not be an option as an entry ban applies to Sint Maarten.
