KLM comes to Colombia

In 2015, KLM will be extending its long-distance flights to South America offering a new regular flight to Bogotá, capital of Columbia, and, Cali, the third largest city of the country. From the 31st of March onward, the flight KL745 will be flying there three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) with a Boeing 777-200. The triangular flight starts in Amsterdam, lands in Bogotá and Cali, and then returns back to Amsterdam.
