KLM Begins New Longest US Route With Boeing 787 Dreamliner Flights To San Diego

On May 8, KLM began the first flight from Amsterdam to San Diego, a fast-growing US city by GDP. Until then, the city pair had not been served. Announced in November, this is KLM’s new longest US route at 4,878 nautical miles (9,034 km). The SkyTeam carrier joins British Airways and Lufthansa in San Diego, with the trio the only European operators to serve three Californian airports.
