[edit] History

The airline was established in April 1991 and started operations the same year. It was formed from the merger of NLM CityHopper and Netherlines. As part of KLM restructuring plans, its regional subsidiaries (including KLM UK) merged in November 2002 under the KLM Cityhopper name ^[2].

[edit] Services

Several of KLM's internal European routes are operated by both KLM and KLM Cityhopper, depending on the day of the week and the time of year. For example, flight KL1273 from Amsterdam Schiphol to Côte d'Azur International Airport in Nice, France is operated by KLM during the months of daylight saving time, and KLM Cityhopper for the rest of the year. Other flights are operated exclusively by KLM Cityhopper.^{[citation needed]}
