Effective 4th May 2020, KLM will fly 3 weekly with Airbus A330-300 (292 seats) from Amsterdam Schiphol to Austin, Texas. Austin is the 19th North Atlantic destination to be served by KLM.

The Airbus A330-300s used on this route will offer 30 World Business Class seats, 40 Economy Comfort seats and 222 Economy class seats. Schedule as follows (local times):

KL667 Amsterdam – Austin 12:40 – 16:10 / Monday, Thursday, Saturday
KL668 Austin – Amsterdam 18:00 – 10:25+1 / Monday, Thursday, Saturday

The new KLM flights expand the Air France-KLM transatlantic network and augment the joint-venture portfolio with Delta. To make these flights possible, changes will be made to the long haul KLM network to free up slots at Schiphol. “We have built up a robust transatlantic network thanks to our joint ventures with Air France and Delta. We will continue to optimise this network. As part of this we launched services to Boston and Las Vegas and are now adding Austin to our North American destinations”, said Pieter Elbers, CEO and President KLM.
