Share

KLM welcomed 8.7% more passengers in January than it did in the same month last year.

Revenue passenger kilometres were up 6.3%, with available seat kilometres up 6.5%, resulting in a slight decline (0.2%pts) in load factor. Growth was strong in Europe and on routes to Central and South America.

KLM’s traffic figures for January confirm that we are off to a good start. In 2018, we will pursue our successful strategy of cooperation with partner airlines, optimum deployment of our fleet and improvement of our inflight product, ensuring better service and a broader network for our customers
