The new service to Genoa will launch on April 22, while Valencia will commence on April 23 and Dresden on May 16.

The Southampton, Inverness and Dresden services will be operated by Fokker 70 aircraft, while an Embraer 190 will be rostered to Geno and a B737-700 to Valencia.

Pieter Elbers, KLM president and CEO, said: "We aim to develop our European network so that we can offer more direct flights to and from Amsterdam and more and better connections via Schiphol.

"So I am proud to announce that we will add five more European destinations to our network, giving European travellers more options to explore the world. The new destinations are relevant to our hub and to our position in the local markets."

From December 1, KLM has charged economy passengers a fee if they wish to pre-reserve a seat when flying long or short-haul (see news, November 17).
