KLM to launch service to Salt Lake City (USA) and Ibiza (Spain)

KLM’s network is developing progressively, offering more capacity and wonderful new destinations. Last week, KLM added five new European destinations, and we will also begin operating flights to Ibiza and Salt Lake City. These two new destinations will enable us to offer even better service to business and leisure travellers.

Amsterdam – Salt Lake City, operated by KLM effective 5 May 2016.

The flights to Salt Lake City will start two times per week effective 5th of May, on Thursdays and Saturdays, and frequency will increase to three times per week, including Mondays, effective 4th of July. KLM will cater to customer requirements by offering three different passenger classes aboard the A330-200: 30 seats in World Business Class, 178 seats in Economy Class, and 35 seats in Economy Comfort, which offers 10 cm more legroom, double-reclining seats and priority de-boarding.

The new KLM flights to Salt Lake City will supplement the existing daily flight between Salt Lake City and Amsterdam operated by Air France KLM’s Transatlantic Joint Venture partner Delta Air Lines. Salt Lake City is one of Delta’s five hubs. Thanks to its code-sharing partnership with Delta, KLM is able to offer its passengers seamless connections to more than 50 North American destinations via Salt Lake City.
