KLM continues to adjust its Summer 2009 timetable to the new economic reality.
For example the AMS-ORD-AMS route will operate as follows:

- April & May 2009 = 6x/weekly
- June -> Sept 2009 = daily
- October 2009 = 6x/weekly
The ORD route has been operated daily by KLM's B747 since 1972, after the launch of the route in 1971 with DC8-63. Chicago was awarded to KLM as a present to NL by President Nixon when he toured Europe in 1971 but could not visit the Netherlands.
KLM had requested landing rights in LAX for years, but wasn't awarded LAX until 1979.
