KL Airline Code: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines IATA & ICAO
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is stored in this dataset as IATA code KL and ICAO code KLM, based in Netherlands. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
KL is the IATA airline designator stored for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. ICAO is KLM. Country of record: Netherlands. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example KL 456. Agents should not confuse KL (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with KLM (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Netherlands carriers stored here: none stored. To decode a full itinerary that markets KL, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page

- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
