Dave Lees, CEO, Bristol Airport:

“We are delighted to continue and expand our long-standing partnership with KLM. With four departures a day, this exciting news from KLM will offer customers in the South West and Wales more options, whether flying to Amsterdam for business or leisure, or connecting to onward destinations across the world. These frequent daily flights and connections also bring thousands of overseas visitors to our region every year.”

New to the network is the previously announced American destination, Portland. Additionally, KLM offers 15% more seats to destinations in India compared to last year. The first new A321neo aircraft are also operational on European destinations such as Copenhagen, Berlin, and Stockholm. Furthermore, Premium Comfort is available to book on all Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft.

This winter, the Premium Comfort class can be booked on all Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft. This newest class offers passengers comfortable seats with extra legroom and a unique catering concept.
