The Dutch airline KLM has been flying between Amsterdam and Shanghai again since July 21, 2020. The passenger flight connection has been temporarily suspended since the beginning of February 2020 due to the corona pandemic.
For the time being, the carrier is offering a weekly rotation, which is served by Boeing 777-300. The flights make a stopover in Seoul in both directions. “The resumption of flights to Shanghai is a cautious but positive sign of recovery and shows our good relations with China and our partners there. KLM is carefully expanding its network to ensure that our customers have as many destinations to choose from as possible. The fact that we can now offer Shanghai again is an important milestone in the laborious reconstruction of the KLM route network at a difficult time, ”said KLM boss Pieter Elbers.
From August 3, 2020, KLM Cityhopper will fly between Amsterdam and Cork with the Embraer 175. It was originally planned that this route would be started in mid-March 2020, but it was decided to postpone it due to the corona pandemic.
The regional airline will fly to Southampton from August 31, 2020. This route is also served by Embraer 175. It is destination number 17 that KLM goes to in the UK.
