A Century of Dutch Aviation

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the flag carrier of the Netherlands and one of the world’s oldest airlines still operating under its original name.

Founded in 1919, KLM has grown into a leading international airline serving destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and the Middle East. Headquartered in Amstelveen, the airline operates its primary hub at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, one of Europe’s busiest international gateways.

Since 2004, KLM has been part of the Air France–KLM Group while maintaining its own brand identity and operations. The airline is recognized for its extensive global network, premium long-haul service, and commitment to sustainability through fleet modernization and alternative aviation fuel initiatives.

As a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance, KLM connects travelers to hundreds of destinations worldwide through its own routes and international airline partnerships.
