KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is to launch a
four-times-a-week return service to Miami International Airport
from the start of the summer schedule on 27 March 2011. KLM
suspended its direct services to Miami in September 2004.
KLM will operate this service using MD-11
equipment which seats 285 passengers - 24 in World
Business Class, 38 in Economy Comfort Class and 223 in Economy
Class. All seats are equipped with a personal screen and
interactive entertainment.
The Amsterdam-Miami
service will depart from Amsterdam every Monday, Wednesday, Friday
and Sunday at 15:00 hours, arriving in Miami at 19:10 hours local
time. The return flight will depart from Miami the same day at
21:15 local time and arrive the next day at 12.05 in Amsterdam
local time.
Miami is a very interesting
destination for business travellers and tourists. The
business market is marked by the highest concentration of
financial institutions in the USA and provides locations for many
multinationals. For tourists the city is renowned for beach
holidays, cruises, art, and cultural events and festivals.
Bram Gräber, Director KLM Nederland, said, "This is
good news for the Dutch market. Besides being popular with
business travellers, Florida is a top destination for holiday
travellers. Adding Miami to the KLM network makes this popular
destination once again accessible, non-stop, from Amsterdam."
With Miami, KLM is adding another destination to the
joint venture between AIR FRANCE KLM, Delta Air Lines and
Alitalia. Miami is the twentieth destination in North-America
which is served by KL/DL directly from Amsterdam. With more than
250 daily transatlantic flights and a fleet of 135 aircraft, this
joint venture offers its passengers a generous network with higher
frequencies, attractive prices and comprehensively tailored
schedules for transatlantic travel.
