Delta Air Lines has positioned itself as a key player in transatlantic travel, operating a robust network with the support of European partner airlines. Among these partnerships, the relationship with KLM at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is crucial for Delta's operations. The airline connects major U.S. hubs like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and New York's JFK to Europe, leveraging its SkyTeam alliance.

The partnership with KLM is particularly significant due to Schiphol's status as a major intercontinental hub. This facility is vital for Delta, providing connections across Europe and beyond through KLM’s extensive network of over 160 destinations worldwide. This strategic collaboration allows Delta to offer passengers from the United States access to a wide range of European and global destinations via Amsterdam.

Schiphol Airport, which began as a military base in 1916, now serves as a principal gateway for international air travel in the Netherlands and ranks among Europe's busiest airports by passenger volume. It functions as a hub not only for KLM but also for other carriers such as easyJet and Transavia.

Delta operates non-stop flights from Schiphol to various U.S. cities including Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York JFK, Salt Lake City, Seattle/Tacoma, Tampa, and Orlando during peak seasons. This makes Amsterdam one of Delta's most-served international destinations outside the U.S., highlighting its importance as a connecting hub.

The airline's focus on Amsterdam stems from its ability to connect passengers efficiently through its SkyTeam partners. While Air France also plays a role in this network through Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, operational limitations there make Amsterdam an even more critical node for Delta’s operations.

KLM's extensive route network from Schiphol supports Delta’s strategy by offering connections to major capitals and secondary cities across multiple continents. With over 300 codeshare partnerships globally, KLM enhances SkyTeam’s reach significantly.

Amsterdam Schiphol remains pivotal not only for passenger traffic but also as a cargo hub within SkyTeam’s operations. As economic uncertainties loom globally, questions arise about the sustainability of such saturated markets; however, Delta continues to maintain strong investments in this transatlantic corridor.
