KLM, the Dutch flag carrier, has exciting plans in store for the summer of 2025 as they announced the expansion of their intercontinental long-haul network. The airline is set to introduce new services connecting Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport to San Diego, Georgetown, and Hyderabad. These new routes mark a strategic move by KLM to boost profitability and enhance its global reach in the upcoming months.

Starting from May 8, 2025, KLM will operate three weekly direct flights from Amsterdam to San Diego International Airport. This new route will be serviced by the carrier’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, offering passengers a comfortable journey with various seating options. The addition of San Diego as KLM’s 22nd direct connection to North America aims to capitalize on the region’s growing market potential.

Georgetown in Guyana is another destination on KLM’s expansion list, with two weekly flights scheduled to commence from June 4, 2025. The route, operated by Airbus A330-200 aircraft, will provide a link from Amsterdam to Georgetown via Saint Maarten. This move signifies KLM’s recognition of the market growth and unique natural beauty that Guyana has to offer.

Furthermore, KLM's expansion includes the addition of Hyderabad in India to their network, starting from September 2, 2025. The airline will operate three weekly flights on the Amsterdam-Hyderabad route using Boeing 777-200ERs. Hyderabad's status as the 'pharmaceutical capital of India' and a hub for IT companies highlights the city's economic importance, making it an attractive destination for KLM to serve.

In a statement, KLM emphasized the significance of these new routes in enhancing their global presence and providing customers with more travel options. By tapping into these dynamic and growing markets, KLM aims to strengthen its position in the aviation industry and deliver exceptional travel experiences to passengers worldwide.
