KLM TO LAUNCH SCHEDULED SERVICE TO XIAMEN

荷蘭皇家航空公司將開辟中國新目的地:廈門

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will begin operating scheduled service Xiamen International Airport in China on 27 March 2011. KLM is the first airline to offer direct flights between Xiamen and Europe.

“This 7th destination in China strengthens the KLM position in this fast growing market. From Europe KLM has the largest destination portfolio on Greater China (China, Hongkong and Taiwan). With this new route KLM offers 43 weekly frequencies to Greater China,” says KLM President & CEO Peter Hartman.

“China Southern Airlines is very pleased with this new flight of KLM and another milestone in the cooperation”, says Zhao Xiaosong, Senior Vice President International Affairs and Alliances of China Southern Airlines.

Xiamen is the second-largest city in the province of Fujian and has a population of 3 million inhabitants. Owing partly to its favourable geographical location, Xiamen is undergoing rapid economic growth, attracting large international corporations. The city is also a tourist destination with interesting cultural and historical highlights.

The new service will be operated three times a week. Flight KL883 will depart from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, returning from Xiamen the following day. The return flight, KL884, will depart from Xiamen International Airport on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving in Amsterdam on the same day. Flights will be operated with Boeing 777-200ER equipment, which can seat up to 318 passengers: 35 in World Business Class and 283 in Economy Class.

KLM’s SkyTeam partner China Southern Airlines offers connecting flights to and from Xiamen from a host of destinations in China.

二零一一年三月二十七日,荷蘭皇家航空公司開闢從荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹到福建廈門的直航航線。由此,荷蘭皇家航空公司成為第一家在廈門和歐洲之間提供直達航班的航空公司。

「此在中國第七個目的地的開通進一步鞏固了荷蘭皇家航空公司在這個飛速發展市場上的地位。自此荷航擁有了從歐洲飛往大中國地區最多目的地的航空公司(包括中國大陸,香港及台灣地區),此條新航線的開通將使得荷航從大中國地區運營每周43個直航歐洲的航班。」總裁皮特‧哈特曼先生說。

「對於荷航的此新航線的開通,中國南方航空公司也非常高興,這是雙方合作的另一個里程碑,」趙曉松,南方航空股份有限公司國際事務部總經理說。

廈門擁有常駐人口約3百萬,是福建省的第二大城市。因其優越的地理位置,廈門正處於經濟快速增長狀態中,吸引了許多大型國際公司。同時,廈門也是擁有豐富的文化和歷史亮點的旅遊勝地。

新航線每周運營3班,KL883航班將會在每周二、四、日從阿姆斯特丹史基浦機場出發,並在第二天到達廈門。KL884航班將會每周一、三、五從廈門出發,當日到達阿姆斯特丹。新航線啟用最新的波音777-200ER型號飛機運營,可搭載318位乘客:35個公務艙座位,283個經濟艙座位。並且,荷航的天合聯盟合作夥伴 – 中國南方航空公司,將會提供從中國各主要城市連接廈門的航班。
