Four per cent more seats. 161 destinations. New routes and more flights to Edmonton.
KLM has unveiled its summer 2025 schedule, featuring expanded routes and increased flight frequencies.
The airline said it will add three new intercontinental destinations while enhancing connectivity within Europe, optimizing operations, and introducing additional aircraft.
KLM flies to 161 destinations this summer, 95 in Europe and 66 intercontinental. The summer schedule starts 30MAR and runs until 25OCT.
Edmonton can be reached five times a week this summer, with six weekly flights during the peak period. In total, KLM offers approximately 10% more flights to North America compared to the summer of 2024.
KLM serves five airports in Canada: YYZ, YVR, YEG, YUL and YYC.
The airline also offers Osaka up to five times a week from April. Las Vegas can be reached daily with KLM this summer, up from five flights a week in 2024. KLM also offers a daily flight to Rio de Janeiro, as it does in the winter.
Airline officials said they’ll grow by 4% in seats compared to last year’s summer schedule. But they noted KLM still flies at approximately 90% of its intercontinental capacity due to long delivery times for aircraft parts and a shortage of pilots.
In addition to the three new routes, KLM will continue to fly to Portland, Oregon, which was added in the winter season of 2024. KLM welcomes three new Boeing 787-10 aircraft for intercontinental routes during the summer.
KLM this summer also will boost the frequency of flights for a number of intercontinental destinations. Their combined flight to Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam goes from five times a week last summer to daily service this year. This means almost 30% more seats than the summer schedule of 2024. KLM will not fly to Zanzibar this summer.
In Europe, KLM offers three new destinations this summer: Ljubljana, Exeter and Biarritz. KLM is also concentrating its flights to Milan this summer at Linate Airport, which is more conveniently located in relation to the city centre. This means that flights to Malpensa Airport will be cancelled.
KLM is also deploying its new Airbus A321neo more and more often, doubling the number from five to ten aircraft during the summer season.
