On December 30, 2024, In a series of concerning events, two KLM Boeing 777 aircraft were forced to make U-turns shortly after takeoff from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport within a short timeframe due to technical issues.

The first incident involved a Boeing 777-200 bound for Shanghai, which returned to Amsterdam after three hours of flying time due to problems with the drinking water supplies. The second incident involved a Boeing 777-300 heading for Bali, which turned back shortly after takeoff due to an unspecified technical problem.
This marked the third incident involving a KLM Boeing aircraft in two days. On December 29, 2024, a KLM Boeing 777-300ER bound for Paramaribo from Amsterdam made a U-turn over the Atlantic Ocean due to a small leak. The aircraft returned to Amsterdam and was grounded overnight before returning to commercial service the next day.
In all of these incidents, the safety of the passengers and crew was the top priority. KLM has a strict safety protocol and takes any technical issues very seriously. The aircraft involved in the incidents were inspected and repaired before being returned to service.
These incidents serve as a reminder of the complexity of modern aviation. Even with the most advanced technology, aircraft can encounter unexpected problems. However, thanks to rigorous safety protocols and the skill of pilots and ground crews, these incidents rarely result in serious harm.
