Airline to end southern India route next February
KLM is to suspend its service from Amsterdam to Hyderabad.
A statement by the Dutch carrier said it was "suspending the service in response to financial results of this route and local market developments."
KLM launched the route in October 2005 and now flies between Amsterdam and Hyderabad four times a week with MD-11s.
It offers a myriad of connections to and from its Amsterdam hub and destinations worldwide.
The carrier's final flight from Amsterdam will be KL873 on January 31 which will return from Hyderabad as KL874 on February 1.
Alternatives to Hyderabad from Europe include Lufthansa from Frankfurt and, starting on December 6, British Airways from London Heathrow.
KLM says that it and partners Air France and Northwest Airlines will continue to focus on India operating direct flights from Amsterdam and Paris CDG to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Madras.
