Oct 07, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- KLM | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- KLM is celebrating its 90th anniversary today. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was founded on 7 October 1919 and is the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name.

This month, the official anniversary month, sees KLM host a European "Tour of Inspiration" visiting 29 European cities in 45 daysincluding London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle. The tour has been designed to celebrate and showcase KLM's products and services including the recently launched "Economy Comfort" seating zone.

KLM's 90th anniversary celebrations first launched on 1 January 2009 with a celebration flight of a Boeing 737-800 over Holland which was painted in KLM's old livery especially for the occasion.

Earlier this year, to mark the milestone anniversary, the world famous Keukenhof gardens presented KLM with its very own Tulip, the KLM Tulipa, whilst this week,Dutch fashion designer Mart Visser, also revealed a brand new ladies uniform for the carrier's 11,000 plus cabin and ground crew members, including female pilots serving KLM and KLM Cityhopper ex UK.

Speaking about the short term future of the aviation industry at a symposium at the National Aerospace Laboratory, KLM President & CEO, Peter Hartman, discusses the airline's continued development and application of sustainable fuels. "We are working hard in this area and hope to be able to redouble our efforts as soon as the economic crisis allows."

Not foreseeing a great change to aircraft over the next 20 years he adds, "After that, we will see a whole new generation of aircraft and will perhaps bid farewell to the familiar winged tube with engines. What the new model will look like exactly, I have no idea, but the change will happen."

KLM has also been supporting a good cause throughout this anniversary year, namely, Cycling Blue for Kenya. This is a joint project with the charity Cycling Out of Poverty. Over the next three months Cycling Blue for Kenya is a KLM AirCares project. The aim is to train people in Kenya as cycle repairers, to set up cycle repair shops there and to finance bicycles for Kenyan children who live more than ten kilometres from their schools.
