KLM expands global network with new routes to San Diego, Georgetown and Hyderabad

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is set to broaden its intercontinental offerings in 2025 with new direct services from Amsterdam to San Diego (California, US), Georgetown (Guyana), and Hyderabad (India). These routes, launching between May and September, will connect Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to three rapidly growing destinations and enhance travel options across KLM’s network.

Starting May 8, 2025, KLM will operate three weekly direct flights between Amsterdam and San Diego. This makes San Diego the 22nd North American destination served directly from Amsterdam by KLM. The California city, known for its vibrant economy and tourism, has become a high-demand destination within the joint network of KLM, Air France, Delta, and Virgin Atlantic.

On June 4, KLM will begin bi-weekly flights to Georgetown, with a brief stopover in Sint Maarten on the outbound journey. Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, has experienced significant economic growth in recent years, driven by its expanding natural resources sector. This new connection will open up direct access to one of South America’s fastest-growing markets.

Lastly, KLM will launch three weekly direct flights to Hyderabad starting September 2, making it the fourth city in India that KLM serves. Hyderabad, known as the ‘pharmaceutical capital of India,’ is a major hub for industries such as biotech, IT, and pharmaceuticals, and its addition reflects KLM’s strategy to expand connections to dynamic and developing regions.
