KLM last operated a direct service to San Jose in 1998. Thereafter, passengers could fly to Panama City and take a codeshare flight to San Jose with Copa Airlines. In opening this new direct service to San Jose, KLM is responding to growing passenger demand.

Dreamliner

The San Jose service will be operated using Boeing 787-900 equipment. This Boeing Dreamliner has 294 seats and offers plenty of travel comfort. Higher air pressure in the cabin ensures that passengers arrive at their destination feeling rested. WiFi is also available onboard for passengers who would like be online during their flight. The Dreamliner is quieter than other aircraft, consumes less fuel and, therefore, emits less CO2.

KLM Resumes Direct Amsterdam–Dallas/Fort Worth Service

Tue, 01 May 2012 01:00:00 +0200

”KLM is delighted that it can once again offer its customers direct flights to and from this important business and leisure destination this summer,” said KLM President & CEO KLM Peter Hartman. “With the resumption of service to Dallas/Fort Worth, KLM and Delta now operate twenty direct services between Amsterdam and North American cities.”

The Amsterdam-Dallas/Fort Worth service will be operated five times a week, using an Airbus A330-200. Flight KL669 departs from Amsterdam at 10.30 hrs CET and arrives in Dallas/Fort Worth at 13.50 hrs LT. The return flight, KL670, leaves Dallas/Fort Worth 15.45 hrs LT and arrives in Amsterdam at 08.00 CET the next day.

KLM first began operating scheduled service to Dallas/Fort Worth in March 2008. During the past winter, KLM and its Transatlantic Joint Venture partner Delta Air Lines decided that this route would only be served in summer. The key reasons being fluctuating seasonal demand and industry-wide overcapacity in the transatlantic market.

The flights can be booked via www.klm.com. Flying Blue members who book travel to Dallas/Fort Worth in May and June will earn double FB miles.

With more than 260 transatlantic flights a day, operated by a fleet of 144 aircraft, the Transatlantic Joint Venture (JV) between AIR FRANCE KLM, Alitalia and Delta Air Lines offers customers the benefit of a sprawling network. With more flights, attractive rates and seamless services for transatlantic travel. The JV network is structured around seven main hubs: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York-JFK, Paris-CDG and Rome Fiumicino.
