KLM

Reason for annoyance:

"Delays, delays, delays, lost baggage galore, woeful customer service that doesn't bother to reply to your letters and so on."

by Andy

About KLM:

KLM, (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, literally Royal Aviation Company) is the oldest airline in the world. This may be the reason that they lose more luggage than any other airline and that their crazy dutch staff spit at their grounded customers.

To their credit, they have a reasonable safety record, especially if you discount one of their planes colliding with another above Tenerife North Airport in 1997, which was the World's worst air-accident killing over 580 people. KLM has been accused of helping Nazi war criminals escape from Europe after the Second World War. Suspected war criminals were forbidden, by the Allies, from leaving Germany, but documents, discovered by Dutch jounalists, appear to show that KLM asked Swiss authorities to let certain Germans cross its borders without proper papers in order that they could then travel to South America.

KLM has always denied that it played any role in assisting Nazis to escape Europe. In 1991 popular music band, The KLF released the single 3AM Eternal with the lyric 'The KLM is gonna rock ya'.
