KLM is expanding its network to Austin, Texas. From May 2020, KLM will operate a direct service three times a week to this American city from Amsterdam using Airbus A330-300 equipment. Each flight will have a capacity of 292 seats.

“We have built up a robust transatlantic network thanks to our joint ventures with Air France and Delta Air Lines. We will continue to optimise this network. As part of this we launched services to Boston and Las Vegas in the summer and are now adding Austin to our North American destinations.”

KLM will operate flights between Schiphol and Austin from 4 May 2020 on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. These Airbus A330-300 flights offer 30 World Business Class seats, 40 Economy Comfort seats and 222 Economy class seats.
