KLM’s Royal Dutch Airlines has announced the launch of special fare offers from Colombo to Europe and North America. These special fares are part of KLM’s efforts to provide valuable deals to its esteemed customer base in Colombo.
The Colombo-Amsterdam route will be serviced by KLM’s brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Throughout the winter season, KLM will operate a twice-weekly service on the route, departing from Colombo on Tuesdays and Saturdays and returning from Schiphol on Mondays and Fridays. The first flight from Colombo is scheduled to depart on 1 November.
In Sri Lanka, KLM is represented by GSA Mack Air Ltd. The fare to Europe from Colombo starts from Rs. 50,400 in Economy Class and Rs. 190,800 in Business Class. Furthermore, the fare to North America starts at Rs. 89,500 in Economy Class and Rs. 274,300 in Business Class. This offer is valid for booking and ticketing until 27 July 2016 for travel outbound between 1 November and 15 December 2016.
To avail themselves of this offer, customers are requested to contact their travel agent.
The KLM Dreamliner offers high levels of comfort in air travel and a new in-flight experience for passengers. In World Business Class, passengers will enjoy 2.07-metre-long full flatbeds, full privacy, extra storage and direct access to the aisle.
Passengers travelling in Economy Class will appreciate the new seats, which offer 40% more recline. All passengers will have access to a power socket for recharging mobile devices, electronically dimmable windows, seat chat, a state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system and onboard Wi-Fi.
Out of a total of 21 aircraft of this type that KLM plans to deploy, each Dreamliner will be given a distinctive name, each one for a different flower, perhaps the Netherlands’ most typical export product, and one that suits KLM perfectly.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was founded in 1919, making it the world’s oldest airline still operating under its original name. In 2004, Air France and KLM merged to form AIR FRANCE KLM. The merger produced the strongest European airline group based on two powerful brands and hubs – Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
Retaining its own identity, the group focuses on three core businesses: passenger transport, cargo and aircraft maintenance. In the Netherlands, KLM comprises the core of the KLM Group, which further includes KLM Cityhopper, transavia.com and Martinair.
KLM serves all its destinations using a modern fleet and employs over 32,000 people from around the world. KLM is a leader in the airline industry, offering reliable operations and customer-oriented products resulting from its policy of enthusiasm and sustainable innovation.
KLM is a member of the global SkyTeam airline alliance, offering customers an extensive worldwide network. The KLM network connects the Netherlands to every important economic region in the world and as such serves as a powerful driver for the economy.
