And now for my annual rage bait post (clears throat) I know women make a big song and dance about childbirth, but if they had to change every clock in the house twice a year, it’d soon put a few things into perspective.

🔵🟠 KLM turns 107 today, and these have been some particularly busy years for the Amsterdam-based carrier. From the A321neo fleet integration to the A350 (less than a week ago), much has changed at KLM over the past ~2 years. And one Delft Blue house is set to join today 👀

🎂 Gefeliciteerd, KLM! Today, the world's oldest airline is celebrating its 107th birthday. On 7 October 1919, the Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij was founded in the Netherlands. KLM operated its first commercial flight on 17 May 1920, between London and Amsterdam.
