KLM Summer Schedule 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

KLM (KL) summer schedule runs from March 30 to October 25, 2025, with a 4% increase in seating capacity compared to summer 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, due to aircraft part shortages and pilot availability, intercontinental capacity remains at 90% of pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intercontinental network expands with flights to San Diego<\/a> (United States), Georgetown<\/a> (Guyana), and Hyderabad<\/a> (India). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Portland (United States)<\/strong> will remain on the route map after its introduction in the winter of 2024. KLM will also receive three new Boeing 787-10<\/a> aircraft to support its long-haul operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several long-haul destinations will see increased flight frequencies. From June, flights to Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)<\/strong> will operate daily instead of five times weekly, increasing capacity by nearly 30%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service to Osaka (Japan)<\/strong> rises to five flights per week, while Las Vegas (United States)<\/strong> will be served daily, up from five flights per week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)<\/strong> maintains daily flights, and Edmonton (Canada)<\/strong> will be connected five times weekly, increasing to six during peak travel periods. Overall, flights to North America<\/strong> will rise by approximately 10% compared to summer 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New European Destinations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, KLM (FR) introduces three new destinations: Ljubljana (Slovenia), Exeter (United Kingdom), and Biarritz (France)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, flights to Milan<\/a> (Italy) will be consolidated at Linate Airport<\/strong>, closer to the city center, discontinuing service to Malpensa Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline is also doubling its fleet of Airbus A321neo<\/a> aircraft, increasing from five to ten units during the summer season. These fuel-efficient aircraft will be used more frequently on European routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
