Growth and new destinations

Compared to last year, the total number of seats is expected to grow by about 5%. This is the result of an expected increase of approximately 6% for European destinations and 4% for intercontinental destinations. Starting this summer, passengers can choose some new destinations for the first time: Jersey, Santiago de Compostela, and Oviedo. These three new European destinations offer travelers even more choice within KLM’s extensive network.

KLM will also operate more flights to several intercontinental destinations this summer. There will be extra flights to Cape Town at the start of the season, and KLM will offer daily service to Portland throughout the summer.

The arrival of the inaugural flight was celebrated in Hyderabad, as was the departure of the first flight to Amsterdam. Festivities at the airport included a traditional Indian dance performance.

Hyderabad: Pharmaceutical and technology hub

Hyderabad, the capital of the Indian state of Telangana, has a population of over 7 million and is experiencing above-average economic growth. The city is internationally known as the "Pharmaceutical Capital of India," with more than 800 pharmaceutical companies based in the region. In addition, numerous American and European IT companies are active in the area. Hyderabad Airport is the fourth busiest airport in India, after Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, and is showing rapid growth in passenger traffic. Thanks to its central location in southern India and extensive domestic connections via partner airline IndiGo, the city serves as a major business and logistics hub.

Three weekly flights

Starting September 2, KLM will operate three weekly flights between Amsterdam and Hyderabad (Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays) with a Boeing 777-200ER, equipped with 35 seats in World Business Class, 24 seats in Premium Comfort Class, and 229 seats in Economy Class.

Kittilä serves as the gateway to Finnish Lapland, providing travelers access to the ski areas Levi and Ylläs. In addition to skiing, visitors can enjoy various winter activities, such as cross-country skiing, reindeer safaris, and husky tours. This makes Kittilä a well-rounded destination for adventurous travelers. With this new route, KLM is responding to the growing demand for Lapland as a winter destination. Moreover, KLM is strengthening its offerings in the region by expanding its flight schedule to Rovaniemi from three to four times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday), making it even easier for travelers to explore Finnish Lapland via both Rovaniemi and Kittilä.

Flight schedule
