KLM Cityhopper

KLM Cityhopper is the regional subsidiary of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (part of the Air France-KLM Group). The airline, with its head office, the Convair Building, on the grounds of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in Schiphol-Oost, Haarlemmermeer, operates short haul services in Europe on behalf of the mother company, KLM. Therefore, in practise, the ICAO code 'KLM' is used by air traffic control and the IATA code 'KL' are used on tickets and flight information displays et cetera. Flights are scheduled to approximately 44 destinations but this can vary on the time of year and the carrier takes up differing routes when required to do so by its parent carrier KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

The company identity is identical to that of its parent carrier with the addition of “cityhopper” after the KLM Crown logo and the absence of “The Flying Dutchman” & “Royal Dutch Airlines” on its aircraft livery. A reworked font style was introduced in 2010, & is now featured on the youngest Embraer 190 aircraft & all forthcoming deliveries. The rest of the fleet does not carry the new font style.

The airline has 5 fully crewed UK bases in operation, inherited from its purchase of Air UK and subsequent merge in of the KLM UK brand. To that end several hundred British Cockpit and Cabin Crew continue to operate KLM Cityhopper flights from the UK and the Netherlands across the carrier's network.

KLM Cityhopper operates a very successful structure of feeder services to its hub at Amsterdam with regular, well timed departures daily from all over Europe that complement the connecting intercontinental services from its parent airline and SkyTeam partners.
