KLM to Bogatá

Colombia’s capital, Bogotá will be served by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines next year.  From 31 March 2015, KLM will fly three times a week, the aircraft on a two-stop routing, also landing at Cali, the country’s third-largest city.

The service, operated by a Boeing 777-200ER will form part of KLM’s new summer schedule operating  on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Pieter Elbers, KLM’s Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO, says: “South America certainly has caught our interest as we look to grow. After increasing frequencies to Ecuador and adding Santiago de Chile as a destination to KLM’s portfolio, expanding our services to Colombia fits our strategy.  Bogota is not a new destination for KLM.  It served Bogota from October 1992 until March 1995.  The service to Bogota and Cali will expand the number of KLM’s Latin American destinations to 11.”

Both Bogotá and Cali can be reached by indirect flights daily with KLM’s daily Amsterdam – Panama City service and onwards with Copa Airlines.  Partner airline Air France operates a daily service to both Bogotá and Cali. www.klm.co.uk
