JetBlue Airways:

Now that W24 has commenced, it is clear KLM has made more schedule adjustments this winter, than has thus far been reported here.

KLM introduced peak season schedules in Summer years ago, where schedules in July and August differ from the other summer months.
Well this winter, KLM is operating two seasons (high/low) within its W24 schedule, thus adjusting capacity to closer match seasonality of demand.

For European schedules November, December, and early January are high season, while later weeks in January, February and March are low season.
On long-haul we see similar adjustments with YEG 5x weekly until Jan, but 4x weekly thereafter until late March.
While DEL and CPT see daily service until January 2025, but than increase for a peak period during Jan-Febr. to 10x and 9x weekly respectively as demand increases.

Many destinations see higher frequencies than they did last winter: AAL, ABZ, ARN, BLL, BHX, BRE, CPH, EDI, FLR, GLA, HAM, HAJ, MAN, NCL, OTP, PRG and YYZ all have more flights, some only for the Nov-Dec period. ATH for example is 3x daily for the first week of W24 until Nov 3rd only.

LHR, CDG and CWL are destinations that see fewer KL frequencies this winter, where KL flights to CDG are replaced by AF.
