KLM Royal Dutch Airlines strengthens relationship with Japan

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines announced it will increase the frequency to Fukuoka adding a 4th flight from summer schedule 2014. As of april 2013 KLM started scheduled services to Fukuoka, Japan. Doing so, KLM was the first airline to offer direct flights between Fukuoka and Europe. As of today Fukuoka is the third destination of KLM in Japan, after Tokyo and Osaka.

“With the strong and close collaboration and support of various governmental and commercial organizations in Fukuoka and Kyushu, after almost 6 months of operation, we can post an overall excellent flight performance on the Fukuoka route. We believe that the Kyushu market has still a big traffic potential from both Europe and Kyushu. By adding a fourth flight, combined with the great transfer possibilities in Amsterdam, it will be even more convenient for our customers to organize their trip.” says Pieter Elbers, KLM’s Chief Operating Officer at a press conference.
