More flights have been announced from Southampton Airport.

KLM says it's adding an evening service to its morning and late afternoon flights to Amsterdam from 31 March.

It will also compliment the morning and evening services already operated by KLM from Southampton daily.

The service will operate on these times using KLM’s Embraer aircraft fleet.

Christopher Tibbett, Head of Airline Relations and Marketing for Southampton Airport, said: “The addition of this evening service is fantastic news as we continue to deliver growth and improved connectivity for Southampton and the wider region.

“The additional service will be welcomed not only by passengers travelling to the Dutch capital, but also by those wishing to travel globally to one of 332 direct destinations in 97 countries served by the one of Europe’s most popular hub airports.”

This is the latest additional service to be added following the completion of the ÂŁ17-million runway extension in August last year.

Since the completion of the 164-metre extension, services to Glasgow and Belfast have commenced while flights to Mallorca, Alicante and Faro have been announced for this summer.
