KLM (in full:
Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij , literally ''Royal Aviation Company''; usual English:
Royal Dutch Airlines ) is a subsidiary of
Air France-KLM . Before its (agreed) take-over by
Air France , KLM was the national
airline of the
Netherlands .
Air France-KLM is France and the Netherlands' main air carrier and its KLM subsidiary operates from the
airline hub of
Schiphol Airport , near
Amsterdam , where the subsidiary company has its headquarters.
Air France took over KLM in
May 2004 , resulting in the creation of Air France-KLM. Air France-KLM is incorporated under French law and its headquarters are located at
Charles de Gaulle International Airport near
Paris . Air France-KLM is the largest airline company in the world in terms of operating revenues, and the third-largest in the world (largest in Europe) in terms of passengers-kilometers.
Air France-KLM is part of the
SkyTeam Alliance with
Delta Air Lines ,
Aeroméxico ,
Korean Air ,
CSA Czech Airlines ,
Alitalia ,
Northwest Airlines , and
Continental Airlines . Both Air France and KLM continue to fly under their distinct brand names, but this may change in the future.

== History ==
KLM was founded on
October 7 ,
1919 , making it the oldest carrier still operating under its current name. The first KLM flight was on
May 17 ,
1920 , with a flight from
London to
Amsterdam carrying two
England journalists and a number of newspapers.
KLM has subsidiaries
KLM Cityhopper ,
KLM Cargo and
KLM exel . KLM has an 80% share in
Transavia Airlines , a 50% share in
Martinair and a 26% share in
Kenya Airways .
KLM uk was a KLM subsidiary until KLM Cityhopper merged with it. KLM is listed on the stock exchanges of Amsterdam, New York and Paris.
In May
2004 , KLM was taken over by
Air France . Its independent identity is guaranteed for the coming five years, but eventually it is anticipated that its operations will be merged into those of the French company. In the meantime, it does not seem that KLM's decade-long alliance with
Northwest Airlines will be affected. Both airlines joined Air France-led
SkyTeam Alliance in September, 2004.

Erm, can someone get permission to use a picture of a large KLM plane? I would like to move the FOKKER picture to the KLM Cityhopper article. -- Whispertome
:No problem. I've moved my Fokker 50 pic to
KLM Cityhopper and I'll try to find a new pic to go here soon. I took the Cityhopper pic at London Heathrow.
:Incidentally, it's nice to identify yourself, just put four tildes at the end as I do.

The article title "KLM Royal Dutch Airlines" appears to be inaccurate or redundant. "KLM" is an abbreviation for dutch words that ''mean'' "Royal Dutch Airlines", so the name is repeated twice, and the airline itself is called either "KLM" or "Royal Dutch Airlines" rather than both of those together. I'm thinking of moving this back to
KLM , since that's the name that's used throughout the article itself, but before I do so I figured I'd ask if anyone had preferences.

:The most common name is "KLM". The article should be there as per
Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Use common names of persons and things .
