KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have resumed direct service between Amsterdam and Dallas/Fort Worth. However, this service will only be operated until October 27.
“KLM is delighted that it can once again offer its customers direct flights to and from this important business and leisure destination this summer,” said KLM president and CEO Peter Hartman.
“With the resumption of service to Dallas/Fort Worth, KLM and Delta now operate direct services between Amsterdam and North American cities.” The Amsterdam-Dallas/Fort Worth service will be operated five times a week, using an Airbus A330-200.
KLM first began operating a scheduled service to Dallas/Fort Worth in March 2008. During the past winter, KLM and its Transatlantic Joint Venture partner Delta Air Lines decided that this route would only be served in summer – the key reasons being fluctuating seasonal demand and industry-wide overcapacity in the transatlantic market.
The flights can be booked via www.klm.com. Flying Blue members who book travel to Dallas/Fort Worth in May and June will earn double FB miles. - Saturday Star
