AMSTERDAM- In a strategic move, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL) is expanding its intercontinental network by launching new direct services from Amsterdam (AMS) to San Diego (SAN), Georgetown (GEO), and Hyderabad (HYD).
Starting May 8, 2025, KLM will operate three weekly flights between Amsterdam and San Diego, making this the airline’s 22nd direct connection between Amsterdam and North America.
KLM New Destinations
The Amsterdam-Georgetown route will commence on June 4, 2025, with two weekly flights that include a short stopover in Sint Maarten (SXM) on the outward journey.
Furthermore, KLM will introduce three weekly direct flights between Amsterdam and Hyderabad, the capital of the Indian state of Telangana, on September 2, 2025. This will be the airline’s fourth direct connection between Amsterdam and India.
Hyderabad, known as the ‘pharmaceutical capital of India’, is another strategic addition to KLM’s network, allowing the airline to tap into a growing and dynamic market.
The Californian city of San Diego represents a large, unserved market for the joint venture of Air France, KLM, Delta, and Virgin Atlantic, which has seen steady growth over the past decade. Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, has also been a fast-growing market in recent years.
