KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is set to enhance its European route network by introducing three new destinations. In spring 2025, the airline will add services to Ljubljana, Slovenia; Exeter, United Kingdom; and Biarritz, France.
These additions will provide travelers with exciting new options for both business and leisure travel. Ljubljana and Exeter will see daily flight services. KLM will fly daily to Biarritz throughout the peak season and scale back to two weekly flights during the off-season.
Amsterdam-Ljubljana Route
Starting March 30, 2025, KLM will launch daily flights connecting Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport. The airline will fly the route will be with an Embraer 190 aircraft, under the following schedule:

Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital and largest city, offers a compelling destination for travelers. The country boasts a diverse landscape, stunning natural beauty, and a rich cultural heritage that promises memorable experiences for visitors.
Amsterdam-Exeter Route
On the same date, KLM will introduce daily flights between Amsterdam and Exeter using an Embraer 175 aircraft. The route provides convenient access to Southwest England:
