AMSTERDAM, KLM, the Dutch subsidiary of Air France, cancelled six flights at Amsterdam's Schiphol on Wednesday morning as its ground crews held a spot strike, the second this week, amid a contract dispute with the company.

The strike from 0530 GMT to 0800 GMT "is likely to lead to disruptions," KLM said in a statement. It said affected passengers would be helped to rebook.
