Meet the crew
Marloes Felix, purser
‘A good atmosphere within the team is really important: this radiates to the passengers.’
'I've enjoyed working at KLM for the past 26 years. It's great fun as purser – and a challenge too- to create a good teamspirit with my crew. During the briefing, I try to make a direct connection and get to know the crew members in a short space of time. Only with teamwork can we make it a great flight!'
Donovan Berends, cabin attendant
'With a small gesture I try to make passengers feel welcome on board.’
'Interacting with passengers from different cultural backgrounds provides variety and challenges. I really receive the whole world on board. When I see my passengers disembarking happy and healthy that gives me a big boost!'
