[edit] Royal French Airlines?
I don't think so... reverted to Dutch 212.35.97.195 09:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KLM Asia
I have merged the KLM Asia article into the main KLM article.
[edit] History
I have added a significant amount of information to the "history" section of KLM, as well as some longhaul travel class info.
Erm, can someone get permission to use a picture of a large KLM plane? I would like to move the FOKKER picture to the KLM Cityhopper article. -- Whispertome
- No problem. I've moved my Fokker 50 pic to KLM Cityhopper and I'll try to find a new pic to go here soon. I took the Cityhopper pic at London Heathrow.
- Incidentally, it's nice to identify yourself, just put four tildes at the end as I do.

The article title "KLM Royal Dutch Airlines" appears to be inaccurate or redundant. "KLM" is an abbreviation for dutch words that mean "Royal Dutch Airlines", so the name is repeated twice, and the airline itself is called either "KLM" or "Royal Dutch Airlines" rather than both of those together. I'm thinking of moving this back to KLM, since that's the name that's used throughout the article itself, but before I do so I figured I'd ask if anyone had preferences. Bryan 07:18, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- The most common name is "KLM". The article should be there as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Use common names of persons and things. ed g2s • talk 13:44, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Image
I have uploaded a new picture of the KLM logo, it's at: Image:klmlogo2.PNG. Is it better (or worse) than the one already on the article? --Kilo-Lima 21:52, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's the "same difference", at least the current version goes better with the background colour of the webpage, and indeed matches the logo on aeroplanes. wangi 22:03, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name
The article should be called "KLM Royal Dutch Airlines" since that is it's full corporate name
[edit] Figures
It would be nice to ad the amount of passengers KLM moves every year.
- I have added it in; it's 6 million as of 2004. KILO-LIMA 18:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KLM Asia
Just thought I'd explain the rewording I did - the original version implied that flights where made to China etc. 'for political reasons', when the intent as I understand it is to say that these flights would happen regardless, the political aspect explains why its KLM Asia rather than KLM the parent. The word order change reflects this (just the pedantic grammar guy in me coming out) Bridesmill 02:29, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 737-800 & 900 Orders
Recent anon edit implied there is lack of certainty in these orders - does anyone have reasonably firm info? Thanks Bridesmill 14:22, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fleet
Significant fleet numbers disagreement between here and the nl: article [[1]] - any thoughts, comments? (don't really need to speak nl to read their figs).Bridesmill 22:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KLM 747-800?
Since when did KLM order 2 747-800. I haven't heard any news about this. Blau 22:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KLM
The KLM fleet is very old. The planes and cabins are still great, but the planes are old. I once took it to amsterdam andd it was great but you could tell it had been used a lot. But by mereging with AF, they will probably get a whole bunch of new planes by 2007 from the AF fleet.
[edit] Page Name
Please do not move the page back. The infobox and the first paragraph of the article should say "KLM Royal Dutch Airlines". However, Wikipedia policy is to use common names in article titles. In this case, that would be KLM, not the full name. Similarly, the Lufthansa article isn't "Deutsche Lufthansa AG". DB (talk) 07:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KLM is using spam as a marketing method
No section for "critics"? ;-)
I just got spammed by KLM. The email is in Norwegian, with the end note: "this is a one-time posting, no need to unsubscribe" :-( I copied out the actual email as http://www.cs.uit.no/~tobias/klm-spam.txt
I'll google a bit around in the next days, if I find any good references, I think I'll add such a section. tobixen 20:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] In flight entertainment
One of the sections say "The Boeing 747-400 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft are being configured with the new World Business Class seats as well as new inflight entertainment in economy, although this upgrade will not include personal televisions in economy."
Please clarify what the IFE in economy will feature if there will actually be an upgrade. --124.106.135.197 02:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
