About KLM at Manchester Airport

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines operated the very first international flight from Manchester Airport over 80 years ago, and just three days after Ringway Airport, (as Manchester was then known) opened its doors. KLM is also the world's oldest airline - over 100 years old. 

These days, over half a million people fly on KLM between Manchester and Amsterdam every year, with 62% of KLM passengers connecting at KLM's hub airport Schiphol to destinations across the world.
