KLM has decided not to renew the contract with Air EXEL for domestic commuter flights and international flights from Eindhoven and Maastricht.
KLM has decided to use it’s own KLM Cityhopper planes. The KLM EXEL planes are owned by the EXEL aviation group and will most likely be used to expand under the EXEL brand. Just like the AlsaceEXEL, BonairEXEL etc.
A busy day in the Dutch aviation industry!

no, KLM EXEL is a complete goner. Air Exel will continue flying but no longer for KLM and no longer on KLM routes either. Expect EIN – LHR to get KLM Cityhopper F50s or perhaps F70s.
Other international flights where to HAM and CDG from EIN and to Strassbourg from AMS.
The ATRs will probably go to the Caribean or start yet another WhateverEXEL ofshoot. Right now there are about 6 or 7 EXEL brands so one or two more won’t be much of a problem!

So KLM Exel will still exist on European flights? The only one I know of is Eindhoven – Heathrow?
