KLM NAMES
FIRST AIRBUS A330
|
|
TOULOUSE, August 25, 2005 – KLM
Royal Dutch Airlines has today taken receipt of its first A330-200
aircraft from Airbus in Toulouse. KLM
President & CEO Leo van Wijk and Airbus President Gustav Humbert
christened the aircraft in Toulouse, and
simultaneously revealed its name. KLM’s A330s will all be named
after famous city squares. The first aircraft will be called “Dam
– Amsterdam.”
The plane will fly to Schiphol this afternoon, where it will touch down
for the first time at its new home base at around 16:00 hours. After its arrival at
Schiphol, the finishing touches will be made and various training
programs will be rounded off on board. Effective September 1, the
“Dam” will be deployed in daily roundtrip service between Amsterdam and Washington.
So far, KLM
has ordered six A330-200s from Airbus and will be leasing two further
aircraft through ILFC. After the “Dam,” two more aircraft
will be delivered this year and utilized for flights to Newark (New York) and Accra in Ghana. The seventh
and eighth aircraft will be taken up in the KLM fleet in February and
March 2007.
KLM’s A330s will mainly service destinations in North
America, Africa and the Middle East.
Additionally, during peak periods, the aircraft will sporadically be
deployed on routes to large European cities such as London and Paris.
The A330-200
will gradually phase out KLM’s Boeing 767-300ER equipment.
Passenger benefits include a more spacious cabin, offering enhanced
service and greater comfort. World Business Class counts 30 seats and
Economy Class offers room for 221 passengers.
The A330 will offer the standard World Business Class and Economy Class
products, as is the case on board the Boeing 777 at present. Passengers
traveling in both classes can relax and enjoy the personal video on
demand system, boasting different language options and a highly varied
selection of films, videos and audio programs, games, flight tracking,
and destination and airport information.
For KLM Cargo,
replacing the Boeing 767 with the A330 brings with it the advantage
that the new Airbus type can be loaded with standard LD-3 containers,
which are currently also used on Boeing 747 and 777, and MD-11
equipment. Depending on the weight of the passengers and baggage on
board, the A330 can transport up to 14 tons of cargo.

Wednesday
December 29th
From April 1, 2005, KLM Royal
Dutch Airlines will start new daily services between Rotterdam and London City Airport. Flights will
operate from Monday to Friday on a "day-return" basis, giving
Dutch business travelers the opportunity to depart from Rotterdam in the morning
and return the same evening. The service will employ a Fokker 50.
As a result of
growing interest in the business market, KLM will also increase the
frequency of its Amsterdam-London City Airport flights
starting April 1.
Effective January 1, 2005, KLM will
suspend flights between Rotterdam and Paris
Charles de Gaulle due to decreasing interest in this route. On other
routes between the Netherlands and France travel is
developing successfully thanks to the KLM-Air France merger
Since
December 6, 2004, new destinations in Pakistan and the Middle East have come on stream for KLM:
Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore in Pakistan and Muscat in Oman. Thanks to the cooperation
with Gulf Air, KLM can now offer its passengers seats on onward flights
from Abu Dhabi, operated by Gulf Air but
under KLM's own flight numbers. This so-called codeshare principle will
also be offered on Gulf Air flights between Bahrain and Muscat. The Gulf Air flights will
connect in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain with KLM's own flights
between Amsterdam and these destinations.
