Las Vegas to Welcome New Nonstop Service from Amsterdam with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

LAS VEGASKLM Royal Dutch Airlines will soon be expanding its global network to include Las Vegas (LAS), Nevada. Beginning in summer 2019, Las Vegas will be accessible up to three times a week with a direct KLM flight from Amsterdam. The flights will be operated using B787-9 (Dreamliner) equipment and will seat 294 passengers.
“Las Vegas will become KLM’s 18th North Atlantic destination to be served directly. Including Las Vegas as KLM’s latest destination will offer our customers even more flight connections to and from the west coast of America,” says Pieter Elbers, KLM President & CEO.
KLM will operate flights between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on Fridays and Sundays beginning June 6, 2019. The Boeing 787-9 flights will offer 30 seats in World Business Class seats, 45 in Economy Comfort Class and 219 in Economy Class. A third weekly flight will be launched on Tuesdays beginning July 2, 2019. The new KLM flights will extend Air France-KLM’s transatlantic network and strengthen its joint venture portfolio with Delta Airlines.
“We are pleased to welcome these new flights from Amsterdam and look forward to a successful future as KLM and the SkyTeam Airline Alliance continue to expand their extensive network of air service offerings to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas,” said Chris Jones, chief marketing officer for the Clark County Department of Aviation.
With an estimated economic impact of $29 million, this flight will mark the first direct nonstop service from KLM and will again connect Amsterdam directly to Las Vegas.
“We are thrilled to welcome new seasonal nonstop service between Amsterdam and Las Vegas with our newest airline partner, KLM,” said Cathy Tull, chief marketing officer of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA.) “Expanding air service is a long-term process, and we celebrate this important milestone with KLM, McCarran International Airport and with our resort and allied partners.”
