KLM’s intercontinental network expands this summer with San Diego (United States), Georgetown (Guyana) and Hyderabad (India). KLM will also continue to fly to Portland (United States), after this destination was added in the winter season of 2024. KLM welcomes three new Boeing 787-10 aircraft for intercontinental routes during the summer.
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.
