KLM to launch Liverpool - Amsterdam flights
02.11.08
KLM is to start a three times daily service between Liverpool Airport and Amsterdam Schiphol, claiming the UK city is ‘well placed to weather the recession’. The new service will start on March 29 and KLM will operate 80-seat Fokker 70 jet aircraft on the route.
Christine Oumiéres, UK general manager for Air France/KLM, said: ’A lot of work and planning went into this project. We spoke to a large number of business and corporations and local authorities. We were very impressed with their business objectives and ambitions.'
‘Liverpool has a large catchment area with a strong economy and we believe our Amsterdam service will play an important role for its continued growth.’ She added that she expects the route to attract an even balance of business and leisure traffic.
The flights will depart Liverpool at 06:15, 10:30 and 17:30, returning from the Dutch capital at 09:25, 16:25 and 20:30. It will complete with easyJet, who already operate on the route.
