(MIAMI, May 2, 2016) – KLM Royal Dutch Airlines announced today that it will begin three weekly flights from Miami International Airport to Amsterdam, beginning on October 30, 2016. Through March 23, 2017, KLM will operate flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays between MIA and its Schiphol Airport hub on Airbus A330-200 aircraft, with 30 seats in World Business Class seats and 213 seats in Economy Class.
The seasonal service is a return to MIA for KLM, which last served the global gateway hub in 2011. KLM will join existing MIA carrier Arkefly as the second airline to provide service from Miami to Schiphol - the 14th-busiest airport in the world for total passengers and the fourth busiest for international travelers, according to Airports Council International’s 2015 preliminary world airport traffic rankings. Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city of the Netherlands, as well as one of the top financial centers in Europe. KLM merged with Air France in 2004 to form the Air France-KLM Group, one of Europe’s leading airline partnerships.
“We look forward to welcoming KLM and its award-winning service back to MIA,” said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio T. González. “Their three weekly flights to Amsterdam will provide more options for travelers between our two busy markets and further expand our growing network throughout Europe.”
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was founded in 1919 to serve the Netherlands and its colonies, and is today the oldest airline still operating under its original name. For more information, visit the KLM website.
Miami International Airport offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport, is America’s second-busiest airport for international passengers, boasts a lineup of 100 air carriers and is the top U.S. airport for international freight.

MIA’s vision is to grow from a recognized hemispheric hub to a global airport of choice that offers customers a world-class experience and an expanded route network with direct passenger and cargo access to all world regions. MIA is committed to sustainable practices. Learn more at www.MIAefficiency.com.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
