KLM Royal Dutch Airlines president and CEO Pieter Elbers said: “It’s really good news that KLM and ITA Airways have been able to reach an agreement so quickly, enabling them to work together on European routes.

“Italy is an important market for the airline industry in Europe, both for business and leisure travellers. Partnerships like this one are important to our ability to provide the best possible service for our customers, who travel through Schiphol from all corners of the world.”

The new pact between the two parties is expected to benefit KLM passengers, enabling them to fly to more destinations in Italy and other ITA destinations in south-east Europe.

Additionally, the agreement will allow easy passenger transfers at Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) airports.
