KLM is one of the safest airlines in Europe, say aviation-renowned publications. Also in 2017, I learned that King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, was a co-pilot at KLM Cityhopper. It flew on Fokker 70 aircraft, which were withdrawn from the KLM subsidiary fleet.
Also in 2017, following the disaster left by Hurricane Irma, KLM operated a humanitarian flight with Boeing 747-400 to Sint Maarten Island.
