KLM intends to grow the number of codeshare services across Delta’s network.
Delta plans to codeshare on KLM flights to 10 European destinations via Amsterdam (Stockholm, Warsaw, Hamburg, Oslo, Bucharest, Gothenburg, Hanover, Nuremberg, Birmingham and Helsinki).
Delta intends to grow its codeshare services across KLM’s network, pending foreign government approvals.
