KLM was founded on October 7, 1919 and is today the oldest airline still operating under its original name. The first KLM flight was on May 17, 1920, from London to Amsterdam with on board two British journalists and a load of newspapers.
Air France-KLM is the world's largest company in terms of operating income, and the third largest in the world as for passengers/kilometers.
