KLM announces together with Northwest Airlines expansion plans on the North Atlantic route network with a new daily nonstop service from Amsterdam to Portland, Oregon.

Scheduled to begin March 30, 2008, Northwest’s nonstop Portland-Amsterdam service will utilize Airbus A330-200 aircraft to conveniently connect Portland and the Pacific Northwest to cities throughout Europe via Northwest/KLM’s Amsterdam hub.

In total, Northwest Airlines and KLM will operate 257 flights per week between Europe and North America.

The return flight, NW92 (KL6092), will depart from Portland in the afternoon and arrives at Schiphol the following day in the morning. This schedule offers excellent connections with European, Indian and African services.
