KLM Royal Dutch Airlines celebrates its centenary with 100 years of progress

Throughout the years, KLM has brought the wonder of air travel to generations. The new film tells the story of three generations of the same family who worked with KLM from the early days to the present, serving and caring for passengers. The first two featured women are inspired to fly and become flight attendants. However, the film closes with the granddaughter of the original woman, who ends up in the cockpit, taking off, as captain of KLM's newest airplane, the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner.

To celebrate KLM's 100^th birthday with Indonesia, KLM launched 3 short videos where KLM travellers travelling on KLM flight KL810 from Jakarta to Amsterdam share their personal travel stories.
