KLM admits: We were tweet twerps
Mexico failed to see the funny side of a KLM tweet that joked about Mexico’s World Cup defeat by the Netherlands.
The Dutch airline published a picture of an airport departures sign under the heading Adios Amigos.
Next to the word Departures was a man with a moustache and sombrero.
The post was deleted shortly afterwards.
“It was meant to be a joke but there was too much negative reaction,” a KLM spokeswoman told the BBC.
