(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
AMSTELVEEN, 27 March 2011 - KLM Royal Dutch Airlines today marked the start of
the summer schedule, operating its first flight to Xiamen International Airport
in China. KLM is the first airline to operate a direct service between Xiamen
and Europe.
"With this seventh destination in China, KLM strengthens its position in this
important market. KLM is the leading operator of flights between Europe and
Greater China. The KLM network thus ensures even better connections between
mainport Schiphol and China, generating new job opportunities and business
establishment potential for the Netherlands," said KLM President & CEO Peter
Hartman.
The new scheduled service brings the frequency of weekly flights from Amsterdam
to Greater China on a total of 73. KLM offers together with partner China
Southern Airlines a total of 53 weekly services to China. The flights to Xiamen
will be operated three times a week. Flight KL883 to Xiamen departs from
Schiphol on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with flight KL884 departing from
Xiamen on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving in Amsterdam the same day.
The flights are operated using Boeing 777-200ER equipment, with room for 318
passengers; 35 in World Business Class and 283 in Economy Class.
KLM's SkyTeam-partner China Southern Airlines offers connecting flights from
Xiamen to numerous destinations in China.
