KLM Batavia Tour

KLM Batavia Tour

Description:

On October 1, 1924 KLM commenced its first intercontinental flight to Batavia, Indonesia (now Jakarta), which took one month using a Fokker F.7 aircraft. The F.7 was the only aircraft at the time with an enclosed cabin and it was able to carry seven passengers in relative comfort. Several test flights were made throughout 1928 and then in September 1929 KLM started its first scheduled services between Amsterdam and Jakarta. At the time this was the world’s longest scheduled flight.
