KLM launches double daily scheduled service to Aalborg, Denmark
Amstelveen, 25 November 2010
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will launch double daily service to Aalborg in
Denmark on commencement of its summer schedule on 27 March 2011.
After Billund and Copenhagen, Aalborg will be KLM’s third destination in
Denmark. KLM will also be the first carrier to offer a direct connection
between Amsterdam and Aalborg.
Pieter Elbers, Senior Vice President Network & Alliances at KLM: “Aalborg is an
attractive destination for business travellers and tourists. It is an excellent new
destination within the KLM network. Introducing a scheduled service to this third
destination in Denmark will strengthen our position in the Scandinavian market.
And in addition this is the first time Aalborg connects with a hub outside
Scandinavia. KLM previously announced an increase of capacity in the European
network as per the summer schedule 2011.”
KLM will operate its flights to Aalborg using a Fokker 70 aircraft, which offers
seats for 80 passengers. The Aalborg-Amsterdam flights depart daily from
Aalborg at 06:25 in the morning and at 14:15 in the afternoon. The return flights
depart daily at 12:15 in the afternoon and at 20:35 in the evening. From
Schiphol, transfer passengers originating from Aalborg can continue their journey
to 78 European destinations and 74 intercontinental destinations with only one
stop in Amsterdam. The 74 intercontinental destinations are made up of 21
destinations in North America, 10 in Mid- and South America, 25 in Africa and the
Middle East and 18 destinations in Asia. Bookings can be made from Monday, 29
November using the reservations systems or online via
www.klm.com.
After Copenhagen, Århus and Odense, Aalborg is Denmark’s fourth biggest city. It
is also the capital of the North Jutland region, which is best known for its beautiful
nature and beaches. Aalborg is one of Denmark’s industrial centres; its
knowledge industry in particular has developed rapidly in recent years.
