Amsterdam to Havana

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will launch thrice-weekly service to José Martí International Airport on Cuba with effect from its 2011 winter schedule starting 31 October.  Cuba will then become KLM’s 68th intercontinental destination.

Havana is still a banned destination from the USA and has limited services from Europe, including a three times per week single class nine-hour Boeing 767 operation by KLM subsidiary Martinair from Schiphol.  Virgin Atlantic flies weekly from Gatwick.

The new KLM flights will also operate three times weekly on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays to Cuba returning overnight the same day.  The service will be flown by MD11 equipment, offering 24 seats in World Business Class and 261 in Economy. www.klm.com.
