KLM Reverses Some US Route Cuts – Two Routes Are Now Back In The...
Just two weeks ago, KLM announced that it would be cutting three of its winter routes between Amsterdam and the United States as the Biden administration continued to do nothing to open up travel for most Europeans and as the Dutch government imposed new restrictions on US travelers. Now, following sudden and unexpected changes of heart by both governments, KLM has announced that two of those three routes will be operated after all...albeit a little later than planned.
KLM Has Suspended Three US Leisure Routes For Winter 2021/22

Unsurprisingly, this is now starting to lead to route suspensions.
KLM Will Not Be Suspending Long-Haul Flights After All

Book USA – Europe Roundtrip Business Class From $1,847
As big a fan as I am of the Air France 777-300ER Business Class cabin I have to admit that I don't really pay too much attention to the Air France/KLM websites because, historically, I haven't found very much use for it (outside of the times where I found a fare elsewhere and then headed over the site to get the fare ticketed).
Well, my lack of interest may have been a little foolish because I just discovered that KLM offers a very useful webpage which lists out all the current Business Class fares on offer for travel out of the United States to Europe, Africa, and India.

KLM Launches A “New Economy Class Service Concept”
KLM has announced a few changes to its Economy Class food service and it has chosen to promote these changes as a "new economy class service concept".
