Brilliant professional work by our @KLM crew today from Cape Town on flight KL598. Dealing with a fire quickly and calmly inspite of first class cabin being filled with thick acrid smoke. Very well done 👍

A touch of drama when one of the ovens in the forward galley aboard our @KLM flight between CPT and AMS caught fire. Well handled by the crew. Was admittedly a bit scary when the cabin started filling with smoke 😳
