From May, the Dutch carrier will operate an additional daily flight to Amsterdam, increasing the number of services to Amsterdam to five a day.

This will be effective during the months of May, June, September and October. As a result of the extra frequency, an additional 20,000 seats have gone on sale, increasing capacity by about 10 per cent on the route.

Aberdeen International Airport boss Steve Szalay said: “We warmly welcome KLM’s decision to expand its presence here at the airport.

“With more than an additional 20,000 seats available for passengers to purchase, this is a real shot in the arm for us as we enter an exciting period, as our terminal transformation project is on course for completion in the autumn.”
