KLM, legally Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. (Royal Dutch Airlines), is the flag carrier airline of the Netherlands. KLM is headquartered in Amstelveen, with its hub at nearby Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It is part of the Air France–KLM group, and is a member of the SkyTeam airline alliance. KLM was founded in 1919; it is the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name and had 32,505 employees as of 2013.
KLM operates scheduled passenger and cargo services to approximately 130 destinations. Passenger aircraft are configured in a three-class layout, including business class, Economy Comfort, and economy class. KLM has a reputation as one of the world's safest airlines. Its frequent-flyer program is called Flying Blue, and has codeshare agreements with other airlines—both members and non-members of SkyTeam.
In 1919, a young aviator lieutenant named Albert Plesman sponsored the ELTA aviation exhibition in Amsterdam. The exhibition was a great success; after it closed several Dutch commercial interests intended to establish a Dutch airline, which Plesman was nominated to head. In September 1919, Queen Wilhelmina awarded the yet-to-be-founded KLM its "Royal" ("Koninklijke") predicate. On 7 October 1919, eight Dutch businessmen, including Frits Fentener van Vlissingen, founded KLM—the abbreviation of Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij ("Royal Dutch Airlines") as one of the first commercial airline companies. Plesman became its first administrator and director.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines made history today as the first airline to introduce a Heineken draught beer trolley on board . KLM will use the trolley to tap its own Heineken beer in World Business Class. This is a world first for KLM and its partner Heineken. KLM now has one Heineken draught trolley. Although it will not yet become a standard feature on board, KLM will use the draught trolley as much as possible on special flights.

One the surface of the lake
Thousand sunbeams playing their game
The line marking it's own way
Through the mirror of the day
And the boat is gliding slow
Early in the morning glow
The flash of silver will follow
Is calling the green beast from below
Soon it's tail raises the mud
The beast is ready for attack
The reel screams the line beings to run
And the struggle shall begin
Bites the lure a massive bonehead
Pulling hard Blending water
In the boat a firm man standing
The fight is one to hook the monster
And with butter it will be fried
Gulped down with great desire
But soon this tall and fairy man
A fishbone in his throat he will fall
Bites the lure a massive bonehead
Pulling hard blending water
In the boat a firm man standing
