Modern fleet, extensive network

As the oldest airline in the world, KLM has built a solid, global network, which we serve with our well-maintained fleet: from Embraer E2, B737 to B777 and B787 – and soon the A350. You can count on highly varied schedules. By the way, the first A321neo landed at Schiphol last September.

Moving to the Netherlands?

Tulips, cheese, and a somewhat direct way of communicating. Maybe you already have some experience with the Dutch, or you are even considering moving to the Netherlands. Cycling to the supermarket or enjoying a drink on a canal-side terrace: life in the Netherlands is as unique as it is unforgettable! We have a tight housing market, but KLM is happy to assist you with your relocation, initial housing, and finding your own place.

Always Aim Higher

At KLM, we work hard to deliver an excellent passenger product. With an extensive global network and outstanding service, we contribute to meaningful journeys for our passengers. Additionally, as an airline, we pay a lot of attention to quieter and more efficient operations. For example, by focusing on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or through the acquisition of the A320, A321, and A350.
