Air France KLM to fly to CT year-round
AIR France KLM will operate year-round daily Amsterdam-Cape Town
flights using the new B787-9 Dreamliner, from July 4. According to
a statement released by Wesgro, 92% of all available seats on the
Amsterdam to Cape Town route are filled on the current schedule.
KLM has been flying direct from Amsterdam to Cape Town for
almost 20 years and Amsterdam has developed into an important
transfer hub for passengers from North America to Cape Town,
says Wesgro ceo, Tim Harris. “Cape Town is a very popular tourism
destination for Dutch travellers and this group makes up the third
largest group of visitors from Europe after tourists from the UK and
Germany,” says Tim.
