KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij NV) was founded on 7 October 1919, making it the oldest operating airline in the world.

Headquartered in the Netherlands, KLM manages approximately 35,000 employees, 3,147 pilots, and a fleet of 168 planes (excluding subsidiaries). Operating scheduled passenger and cargo services to 160 destinations worldwide, KLM carries more than 34 million passengers and 621,000 tons of cargo every year.
