KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has announced the addition of a fourth daily flight to its schedule out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA), cementing its operations out of Merseyside.
The new frequency starts on 10th May 2010along side improved timings for the original three daily flights.
The schedule will increase long haul connectivity via its award winning hub, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
This new frequency announcement comes less than a year after the route’s inaugural flight on 30th March 2009 and is a testament to KLM’s commitment to the Liverpool region.
The faster long haul connections mean that travellers in the region can now take advantage of smooth and seamless travel to destinations such as Shanghai, Johannesburg and Mexico.
Capacity on the route will increase by a third (33%) daily and the additional flight rotation provides more flexibility for point to point passengers as well as offering even more European connections on a daily basis.
To celebrate the new frequency launch, KLM is offering a fantastic fare promotion on all Liverpool-Amsterdam flights with return fares available for just £79* per person, inclusive of all taxes.
This promotion is bookable between 04 and 25th March 2010 for travel up until 30 September 2010.
The improved Liverpool-Amsterdam schedule also means Merseyside has access to long haul travel from the convenience of its own doorstep.
Henri Hourcade, General Manager AIR FRANCE KLM UK and Ireland says: "Passengers no longer need to embark upon long car journeys to other airports in the region for direct flights – with a minimum 50 minutes connection time at Schiphol, KLM offers fast and efficient long haul travel.“
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, with its SkyTeam partners, connects Liverpool to over 800 destinations worldwide via four daily flights to Amsterdam.
The carrier’s hub, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, offers smooth connections with just 40 minutes connection time for short haul flights and only 50 minutes for long haul flights.
Passengers therefore no longer need to travel to a larger airport to experience global travel; KLM offers worldwide connections from the comfort and convenience of a local airport.
Capacity on the route will increase by a third (33%) daily and the additional flight rotation provides more flexibility for point to point passengers as well as offering even more European connections on a daily basis.
Seats on the fourth frequency are bookable as of today via www.klm.com, KLM telephone reservations on 0871 222 7474 or at local travel agents.
A Fokker 70 jet aircraft, which carries up to 80 passengers, will fly the new frequency.
