Even before it was founded on 7 October 1919, Queen Wilhelmina had awarded the award royal to the airline which was not officially listed on 12 September 1919. For example, Albert Plesman then launched the company as Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij in front of Nederland en Koloniën (KLM) on October 7, 1919, in aviation history. The first KLM flight took you from London-Croydon to Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport on May 17, 1920. As early as 1926, KLM flew from Amsterdam to Bremen, Brussels, Copenhagen, London, Malmoe, Paris and Rotterdam. Regular intercontinental flights to Indonesia began in 1929 and transatlantic flights to the Dutch Caribbean began in 1934. While air traffic in Europe was resting during the Second World War, it continued in the Dutch Caribbean. On May 31, 1946, KLM became the first Continental European airline to enter New York. On May 5, 2004, KLM merged with Air France to form the AIR FRANCE KLM Group with its headquarters in Paris. However, both KLM and Air France retained their independence after the merger to the outside world. Not on the 100 th birthday, but at the opening of the rail link between Amsterdam Central and Schiphol Airport in 1986, the NS painted two ICM-1 trains in the colors of two Dutch airlines. It was a good thing that the ICM, with its elevated front-end driver's cab, looked a bit like a Boeing 747. Unit 4011 then shone in blue-white-gray KLM outfit and unit 4012 in white with red stripes like Martinair's colors. The ICM came from the desire of the NS to procure new vehicles for their fast intercity traffic with flexible use, faster and easier separation or Coupling at the train stations and the possibility for passengers to change from one unit to another while driving. With these specifications, the driver's cab was quickly moved up one level and the railcars were provided with transitions at the front, WAS quickly helped the bullish, extraordinary vehicles to become the nickname Koploper (= headliner). In 1977, the NS first obtained a preliminary series with seven three-part units (4001-4007) as IC3 (later ICM-0) at Talbot in Aachen. Production as ICM-1 began in 1983 with numerous improvements. From the unit 4051 a chopper control was added and the model changed to ICM-2. Between 1990 and 1994, 50 four-part units were created as ICM-3 (4201-4230) and ICM-4 (4231-4250). In contrast to the three-part trailers with only one powered end wagon, the bogie of the middle carriage following the end rail car also featured drive wheel sets on these trains. The mechanical part of all Koploper was created at Talbot, while CEM Oerlikon and Holec were responsible for the electrical systems. From 2006 to 2011, ICM series trains 4011–4097 and 4201–4250 were gradually modernized as ICMM: Due to low usage, the characteristic transitions were eliminated. Its interior has been completely renovated, wheelchair-accessible toilets have been installed, air conditioning and passenger information displays have been retrofitted, and the number of seats has been increased by 13%.This text is machine translated.
