LONDON—KLM Royal Dutch Airlines said it would cut as many as about 2,000 flights from its schedule to help ease congestion at its main airport, the latest move by a European airline to rightsize summer operations amid an industrywide labor shortfall.

The airline said Friday it would scrap between 10 and 20 return flights a day through Aug. 28, representing at least about 1,000 trips over the next two months. KLM is also restricting ticket sales for its remaining available seats on flights to European destinations to free up space for customers needing to be rebooked because of the disruption.
