Pieter Elbers, Senior Vice President Network & Alliances, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, comments: "It's a fantastic milestone for KLM and one which clearly highlights the ongoing demand and support from business and leisure travellers in the North East for a seamless global travel service from the convenience of their local airport."
David Laws, Chief Executive of Newcastle International said, "This is a very prestigious event for both our airport and the airline. The 25 years since this airline first touched down at Newcastle are a testament to our great working relationship and partnership with KLM.
"Amsterdam opens up the world from our region, and we look forward to many more years of working and growing our respective businesses."
Commenting further on the impact regional air services have had on the North East's rapid development, Stacey Hall, One North East Director of Communications and Tourism adds: "We congratulate KLM on 25 years of valued service to the region. Excellent global connectivity forms a major and attractive part of our offering to both businesses and tourists.
"We continue to see a rise in tourists to the North East with tourism currently worth almost GBP4bn to the region's economy and employing more than 60,000 people."
KLM's Pieter Elbers continues, "The North East's growth and reputation as a business destination continues to be an evolving success story and KLM remains committed to the region and in supporting those North East businesses seeking and seizing opportunities in overseas markets."
Almost half of KLM traffic in volume from Newcastle International is long haul travel with recent airline data revealing that Hong Kong is the top long-haul destination for travellers in the region. Seamless connections to Asia for North East travellers at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has helped position Beijing, Shanghai and Bangkok as the second, third and fifth favourite long haul destination, alongside New York City which is currently ranked in fourth place.
