List of KLM destinations
History
KLM was set up by Albert Plesman on 7 October 1919 and started operations on 19 May 1920.[1] The first route served was the Amsterdam to London, flown with DH.9As that carried just two passengers on a charter basis.[2]:13 Two Fokker F.IIs that were delivered in September 1920 were later deployed on this very first route.[3]:1014 Intercontinental flights were started with Fokker F.VII equipment in November 1924 , serving the Dutch East Indies,[4]:36 although it was not until 1931 that regular services on this line were implemented.[5] It normally took 11 or 12 days to complete the 9,000-mile (14,000 km) long flight between Amsterdam and Batavia, calling at Budapest, Athens, Cairo, Baghdad, Bushire, Jask, Karachi, Jodhpur, Allahabad, Calcutta, Akyab, Rangoon, Bangkok, Medan and Palembang.[5] In 1926, the Rotterdam–Amsterdam–Copenhagen run was extended to Malmö.[6]:416
Singapore was first served in May 1933 , when it was taken over from KNILM and added as an intermediate stop for the Amsterdam–Batavia line.[7] By April 1934 , Berlin, Hamburg and Liverpool were already part of the European route network.[8] In May that year, KLM became the first airline that linked Continental Europe with the North of England, when the Amsterdam–Hull route was inaugurated;[9] the Amsterdam–Liverpool service was re-routed via Doncaster in mid-1936.[10] By April 1939 , the following twenty-one lines were operative: Amsterdam–Berlin, Amsterdam–Bremen–Hamburg, Amsterdam–Christiansand–Oslo, Amsterdam–Copenhagen–Malmö, Amsterdam–Copenhagen–Norrköping–Stockholm, Amsterdam–Copenhagen–Stockholm, Amsterdam–Eindhoven, Amsterdam–Groningen–Leeuwarden–Amsterdam, Amsterdam–Leipzig–Budapest–Athens–Alexandria–Lydda–Baghdad–Basra–Jask–Karachi–Jodhpur–Allahabad–Calcutta–Rangoon–Bangkok–Penang–Medan–Singapore–Palembang–Batavia–Bandoeng that connected with KNILM services, Amsterdam–Manchester–Liverpool, Amsterdam–Twente, Amsterdam–Texel, Amsterdam–London, Amsterdam–Paris, Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Basle–Zurich, Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Cologne, Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Frankfort–Milan–Rome, Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Haamstede–Flushing–Knocke/Zoute, Amsterdam–Rotterdam–London, Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Prague–Vienna–Budapest, and Paris–Copenhagen–Stockholm.[11]
With an intermediate stop at Espinho, the Amsterdam–Lisbon route was opened in April 1940 .[12] Initially, these flights carried freight and mail, connected at Lisbon with Pan American Airways Clipper services to New York and had a subsidy from the Dutch Post Office.[13]
List
KLM serves 2 domestic and 133 international destinations in 66 countries (except seasonal services but including cargo flights). Following is a list of destinations the airline and its subsidiaries KLM Cargo and KLM Cityhopper fly to according to their scheduled services, as of March 2020.[14]
