KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
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
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is stored as IATA KL and ICAO KLM, country Netherlands. The converter maps marketing carrier KL to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with KL plus a numeric flight number and a booking class letter. This article is not an airline homepage: schedules, change fees, and loyalty rules are omitted because they are not stored and must not be invented. Peer carriers from Netherlands in this catalog: none stored. Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes KL.
