More flights to popular destinations

Demand remains strong for European destinations such as London, Rome, and Berlin. For long-haul travel, passengers are choosing destinations including Tokyo, New York, Cape Town, and Curaçao.

KLM is increasing flight frequencies on these and other key routes:

Intercontinental:

• Tanzania: Daily service to Kilimanjaro/Dar es Salaam (previously 5x per week)
• Las Vegas: Daily through August (previously 5x per week)
• Osaka: Expanded to 5x per week, with an additional flight from late September
• Tokyo Narita: One extra weekly flight from late September
• Edmonton: 5x per week, increasing to 6x during peak season
• Cape Town: Two additional weekly flights from October
• Curaçao: Additional Sunday flight from October

Europe:

• Belfast: Twice daily
• Porto: Four times daily
• Barcelona: One additional daily flight
• Split: Twice daily in spring and autumn
• Krakow and Poznan: One additional daily flight
• Milan Linate: To improve service efficiency, KLM will consolidate all Milan flights at Linate Airport, which is closer to the city center. As a result, flights to Malpensa will be discontinued.

KLM flies more frequently to a number of intercontinental destinations during this summer schedule. For example, KLM offers the combined flight to Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) daily from June, compared to five times a week in the summer of 2024. This means almost 30% more seats than the summer schedule of 2024. KLM no longer flies to Zanzibar (Tanzania) this summer. KLM also offers Osaka (Japan) up to five times a week from April. Las Vegas (United States) can be reached daily with KLM this summer, an increase compared to the five flights per week in 2024. KLM also offers a daily flight to Rio de Janeiro, just like in the winter. Finally, Edmonton (Canada) can be reached five times a week, with six weekly flights during the peak period. In total, KLM offers approximately 10% more flights to North America compared to the summer of 2024.

In Europe, KLM offers three new destinations this summer: Ljubljana, Exeter and Biarritz. KLM is also concentrating its flights to Milan this summer at Linate Airport, which is more conveniently located in relation to the city centre. This means that flights to Malpensa Airport will be cancelled. KLM is also deploying its new Airbus A321neo more and more often, doubling the number from five to ten aircraft during the summer season. 

KLM is increasing some frequencies in Europe this summer. For example, KLM flies twice a day to Belfast (United Kingdom), four times a day to Porto (Portugal), an extra daily flight to Barcelona (Spain) and in the spring and autumn KLM flies two times a day to Split (Croatia). There will also be extra flights to Krakow and an extra daily flight to Poznan. Due to these frequency increases, KLM will offer almost 25% more seats to Portugal and Croatia compared to the summer schedule in 2024.

KLM will increase flight frequency to various intercontinental destinations. We will operate more flights to Jakarta in combination with Kuala Lumpur, and to Denpasar in combination with Singapore. KLM has resumed direct flights to Osaka and will resume daily service to Tokyo Narita. Flight frequency will also be increased to Taipei, Hong Kong, Montreal, Toronto and Los Angeles. Capacity to North American destinations is currently above 2019 levels. These changing frequencies are part of an ongoing process whereby we adjust our network to market conditions, taking into account available aircraft and manpower.

KLM will resume daily service to Tel Aviv From Monday 1 April. This service will be operated with a stopover at Larnaca until at least 19 May. KLM is closely monitoring the security situation in Israel.

In Europe, KLM will increase flight frequency to various destinations this summer. In Scandinavia, KLM will operate daily service to Billund (Denmark) and Stavanger (Norway). In Great Britain, flight frequency will be increased to Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow and Southampton. As was the case this winter, KLM will continue to serve Marseille in the summer and will operate daily service to Nice. In Poland, frequency will be increased to Krakow, Gdansk and Wroclaw. KLM will also increase flight frequency to Prague (Czech Republic) this summer. In Italy, KLM will increase frequency to Bologna, Florence and Genoa.
