OREANDA-NEWS. October 13, 2015. It was special to be part of the crew who had the honour of operating this flight. Although we do see happy faces of satisfied passengers on a regular basis, we don’t often see so many happy and excited children on a single flight as we do during the ‘Airsmiles Flight’. That’s why the crew was more than willing to contribute a half-day’s leave to operate this flight, which meant they were working in their own free time.

It’s always heart-warming to see so many happy faces, it confirms that we’re doing things right. It’s really wonderful that our foundation can do this work. But we couldn’t do it without the help of others, of course. We’re very grateful to KLM and their staff for making this flight possible – for the sixth* consecutive year – giving these kids an unforgettable experience.
