San Diego International Airport today announced that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) will become its seventh international airline.
Beginning May 8, 2025, the airline will offer three weekly flights between San Diego and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
“We are very pleased to have KLM join as the 19th carrier at SAN,” enthused Kimberly Becker, CEO and president of San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
“This summer, European travel is up over 30% compared to last year.
Amsterdam, with its iconic canals and world-class museums and corporate ties to the San Diego region, will be the 10th international destination offered from SAN and we look forward to a continued demand from both business and leisure international travellers.”
The new year-round route to Amsterdam will expand non-stop access from SAN to a total of three European cities including London and Munich.
“The launch of KLM’s direct service between Amsterdam and San Diego marks an exciting milestone in our North American expansion,” said Boaz Hulsman, vice president of commercial for North America, at Air France-KLM.
“This new route opens a gateway to Southern California’s dynamic economy while connecting the San Diego community to Amsterdam and beyond.
“We’re excited to offer seamless connectivity to over 160+ destinations, enhancing travel options for both business and leisure travellers. San Diego represents a key market with tremendous potential as we continue to strengthen our trans-Atlantic network.”
