KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will begin operating flights to the city of Boston (BOS) in the United States from the start of the 2019 summer schedule. KLM will operate a three weekly service between Amsterdam and this city on the North-East coast of the United States. Flights will be operated with an Airbus A330-300, offering capacity for 292 passengers.
The new KLM service to Boston comes in addition to the two daily flights between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Boston operated by Delta Air Lines, Air France-KLM’s joint-venture partner on trans-Atlantic routes.
“By adding a direct KLM service, we offer our customers more options for travel between Amsterdam and Boston, in partnership with Delta Air Lines. Boston is the 17th North-Atlantic destination served directly by KLM,” said Pieter Elbers, KLM president and CEO.
From March 31, 2019, KLM will begin operating flights between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Boston on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The Airbus A330-300 flights will have 30 seats in World Business Class, 40 seats in Economy Comfort Class and 222 seats in Economy Class. From July 1, 2019, a fourth weekly flight will be operated on Mondays.
