KLM introduces three new European destinations

KLM will be flying to three new destinations in Europe starting spring 2025: Ljubljana (LJU), Exeter (EXT) and Biarritz (BIQ). From March 30, KLM will begin flights to Ljubljana and Exeter. Starting April 19, KLM will also fly to Biarritz. With these new routes, KLM offers its customers even more travel options within Europe, both for business and leisure purposes.

KLM will fly daily to the new destinations Ljubljana and Exeter throughout the year. Biarritz will be a daily destination during the summer months. In the winter months, KLM will fly to Biarritz twice a week. The new destinations are made possible by shifts in KLM’s European route network.
