:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
KLM uk was a subsidiary of KLM after they bought British regional airline Air UK. They operated flights both within the UK and services to various British regional airports to their main hub in Amsterdam. KLM uk was absorbed into KLM Cityhopper in 2003 and all domestic operations were stopped. This is partially why KLM still has such a large presence in the UK to this day flying to 17 different airports.

Another fun remnant is the KLM MRO facility that still operates to this day at Norwich airport (NWI). I think it would be a fun way to add some history :netherlands: :handshake: :united_kingdom:

Oh yeah! I forgot about them! And they fly from my hometown is a bonus.
