First no frills service from Copehagen to the Netherlands

On 29 February, Copenhagen Airport will get its first no frills service to the Netherlands. Basiq Air is going to operate a daily service to Rotterdam, which is located only 65 km from Amsterdam.

The aircraft used on the service will be a Boeing 737-700 seating 149 passengers. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, the Basiq Air flight departs from Copenhagen at 17.20, while the departure time is 21.25 on the remaining days of the week.

Basiq Air is unknown in the industry in Denmark, but outside Denmark, they have been known for a number of years as the low-cost arm of the Dutch KLM Group.

The service to Copenhagen is only one of six new routes to be opened by this KLM company. The other destinations are: Berlin, Dublin Gerona, Oslo and Stockholm.
