Bangalore , July 26

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will be launching flights between Amsterdam and Hyderabad in India on commencement of the winter schedule.

This represents KLM's first initiative in response to the recently expanded airline rights obtained for operations to and from India and a further expansion of KLM's global network from its Amsterdam Schiphol hub.

KLM's partners Northwest Airlines and Air France will simultaneously initiate services to Bangalore and Paris, respectively.

From October 30, KLM will start thrice-weekly service between Amsterdam and Hyderabad on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. These flights will connect the transatlantic services operated by KLM and Northwest at Chisholm. Additionally, KLM will be increasing capacity on its daily service to Delhi by deploying Boeing 777 aircraft. On the new winter schedule, Northwest will start daily roundtrip flights between Amsterdam and Bangalore operating Airbus A330. At the same time, Air France will operate five roundtrip flights a week between Paris and Bangalore using A330.

Launching these new SkyTeam alliance flights means that the 2005-06 winter schedule will offer a total of 77 weekly roundtrip flights to India, operated by KLM, Air France, Northwest, Alitalia, Continental and Delta.
