In a bid to ensure younger fliers enjoy fun travels, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has launched its first short animation film for kids about Bluey, the little KLM plane.
The very cute “Bluey The Movie” is being shown on the KLM YouTube channel and onboard all intercontinental KLM flights from June 2015 onwards with the hope that Bluey the movie takes off.

Children who are travelling unaccompanied by an adult can also use the newly renovated KLM Junior Jet Lounge at Schiphol. The play area in Lounge 2 at Schiphol Airport is also currently being revamped to ensure Bluey becomes part of the scene.
