KLM upgrades business class

KUALA LUMPUR (AFX): KLM Royal Dutch Airlines NV said it has spent US$35 million on upgrading onboard facilities for its business class passengers.

KLM's fleet worldwide has been enhanced with more comfortable business class seating, general manager for Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei, Marcel de Nooijer, was quoted as saying by Bernama news agency.

This meant fewer premium seats to sell but more personalized attention for passengers, he said after unveiling a plane with the new features.

KLM had also improved its menu for business class passengers, offering a wider selection of food and services, he added.

Earlier, Nooijer announced that KLM had increased its frequency on the Kuala Lumpur/Amsterdam route to seven times a week from four previously following a high load factor averaging 80 percent per flight.
