:''If you are looking for KLM as related to human computer interaction, go to KLM (Human Computer Interaction)'' 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. == Code Data == *IATA Code: KL *ICAO Code: KLM *Callsign: KLM == 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. == Services == This list of destinations does not include cities only served by KLM Cityhopper or KLM exel. ===Africa=== *Egypt **Cairo (Cairo International Airport) *Ghana **Accra (Kotoka International Airport) *Kenya **Nairobi (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport) *Nigeria **Abuja **Kano **Lagos (Murtala Mohammed International Airport) *Libya **Tripoli *Morocco **Casablanca (Mohammed V International Airport, Ending 30 May 2004) *South Africa **Cape Town (Cape Town International Airport) **Johannesburg (Johannesburg International Airport) *Tanzania **Dar Es Salaam **Mount Kilimanjaro (Kilimanjaro International Airport) ===Asia=== ====Central Asia==== *Kazakhstan **Almaty ====East Asia==== *People's Republic of China **Beijing (Beijing Capital International Airport) **Hong Kong (Hong Kong International Airport) **Shanghai (Shanghai Pudong International Airport) *Republic of China (Taiwan) **Taipei (Chiang Kai-shek International Airport) *Japan **Osaka, Osaka (Kansai International Airport) **Tokyo (Narita International Airport) *Korea, South **Seoul (Incheon International Airport) ====South Asia==== *India **Delhi (Indira Gandhi International Airport) **Mumbai (Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport) ====Southeast Asia==== *Indonesia **Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta International Airport) *Malaysia **Kuala Lumpur (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) *Philippines **Manila (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) *Singapore **Singapore (Singapore Changi Airport) *Thailand **Bangkok (Bangkok International Airport) ====Southwest Asia==== *Bahrain **Manama (Bahrain International Airport) *Georgia (country) **Tbilisi *Israel **Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion International Airport) *Jordan **Amman (Queen Alia International Airport) *Kuwait **Kuwait City (Kuwait International Airport) *Lebanon **Beirut (Beirut International Airport) *Qatar **Doha (Doha International Airport) *Saudi Arabia **Dammam/Dhahran (King Fahd Dhahran Air Terminal) *Syria **Damascus *United Arab Emirates **Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi International Airport) **Dubai (Dubai International Airport) ===Europe=== *Austria **Vienna (Vienna International Airport) *Bulgaria **Sofia (Sofia Airport) *Czech Republic **Prague (Ruzyne International Airport) {| align=right | |} *Denmark **Copenhagen (Copenhagen Airport) *Finland **Helsinki (Helsinki-Vantaa Airport) *France **Nice (Côte d'Azur International Airport) **Paris (Charles de Gaulle International Airport) *Germany **Berlin (Tegel International Airport) **Hamburg (Hamburg Airport) **Munich (Munich International Airport) **Stuttgart *Greece **Athens (Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport) **Thessaloniki *Hungary **Budapest (Budapest Ferihegy International Airport) *Italy **Milan (Malpensa International Airport) **Rome (Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport) **Venice (Marco Polo International Airport) [[Image:KLM Aircraft at Schiphol.jpg|thumb|250px|Part of the KLM fleet at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam.]] *Luxembourg **Luxembourg City *Netherlands **Amsterdam (Schiphol Airport, Hub) **Rotterdam *Norway **Oslo (Oslo Airport) *Poland **Warsaw (Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport) *Portugal **Lisbon (Portela Airport) *Romania **Bucharest (Henri Coanda International Airport) *Russia **Moscow (Sheremetyevo International Airport) **Saint Petersburg (Pulkovo Airport) *Spain **Barcelona (El Prat International Airport) **Madrid (Barajas International Airport) *Sweden **Stockholm (Arlanda International Airport) *Switzerland **Geneva (Cointrin International Airport) **Zürich (Zürich International Airport) *Turkey **Istanbul (Atatürk International Airport) *Ukraine **Kyiv *United Kingdom **Birmingham, England (Birmingham, UK International Airport) **Edinburgh, Scotland (Edinburgh International Airport) **Glasgow, Scotland (Glasgow International Airport) **London, England (London Heathrow Airport) **Manchester, England (Manchester International Airport) ===North America=== ====United States, Canada, and Mexico==== *Canada **British Columbia ***Vancouver (Vancouver International Airport) **Ontario ***Toronto (Toronto Pearson International Airport) **Quebec ***Montreal (Montréal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport) *Mexico **Mexico City (Benito Juarez International Airport) *United States **California ***Los Angeles, California (Los Angeles International Airport) ***San Francisco, California (San Francisco International Airport) **Georgia (U.S. state) ***Atlanta, Georgia (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) **Illinois ***Chicago (O'Hare International Airport) **Massachusetts ***Boston, Massachusetts (Logan International Airport) -

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. :User:Arpingstone 11:40, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC) 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. User:Bryan Derksen 07:18, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC) :The most common name is "KLM". The article should be there as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Use common names of persons and things. ed_g2s">User:Ed g2stalk">User talk:ed_g2s 13:44, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
