SAN DIEGO, CA – San Diego International Airport (SAN) welcomed KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) as its seventh international airline to offer service from the California city.
Beginning May 8, 2025, the airline will offer three weekly flights between San Diego and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
“We are very pleased to have KLM join as SAN’s 19th airline. This summer, travel to Europe is up more than 30% over last year. Amsterdam, with its iconic canals and world-class museums and corporate ties to the San Diego region, will be the 10th international destination offered from SAN and we expect continued demand from both business and leisure international travelers,” said Kimberly Becker, CEO and President of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
The new year-round route to Amsterdam will expand nonstop access from SAN to a total of three European cities, including London (UK) and Munich (Germany).
From Amsterdam, travelers can easily connect to multiple European cities. Passengers flying with KLM from SAN will now have access to the SkyTeam alliance, which allows for more travel options, coordinated schedules and shared benefits with the frequent flyer programs of 19 other international airlines.
“The launch of KLM’s nonstop service between Amsterdam and San Diego marks an exciting milestone in our North American expansion,” said Boaz Hulsman, Air France-KLM’s Vice President Commercial North America.
According to Hulsman, the new route opens a gateway to Southern California’s dynamic economy, while connecting the San Diego community to Amsterdam and beyond.
