Amstelveen/St.Petersburg – 2009-23-06
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Russian carrier ROSSIYA signed a code share agreement effective 22 June 2009. This agreement entitles the airlines to market flights between Amsterdam and St. Petersburg under each others flight numbers.
Both airlines already operate flights on this route. From 13 July, ROSSIYA will increase the number of flights from three to four per week. Starting July 17th, KLM will also raise the frequency, from four to five flights per week.
According to KLM’s Executive Vice President Commercial, Erik Varwijk, this cooperation holds advantages for both KLM and ROSSIYA customers. “Because of this new code share agreement and the increased number of flights, our passengers now have more flights to choose from. And the cooperation with KLM will enable ROSSIYA customers to make optimum use of the Amsterdam Hub and KLM’s global network.”
ROSSIYA’s Commercial Director, Igor Morachev, notes that conclusion of the code share agreement appeared as a result of a long-term partnership between the two airlines. “We are sure that this will develop air service between St.Petersburg and Amsterdam and will be useful for the KLM and ROSSIYA passengers. We appreciate the cooperation and trust rendered to us by KLM”.
The finalization of the code share agreement coincides with the festive opening, last week, of the Hermitage Amsterdam, the only dedicated, independently managed venue in the West of St. Petersburg’s famous State Hermitage Museum.
