Netherlines also used the Saab 340 to open a route to Vienna.
KLM acquired Netherlines in April 1988; the combined Netherlines-NLM CityHopper operation was NLM CityHopper/Netherlines, and it had its head office at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.[2]
The operations of Netherlines were merged with NLM CityHopper, and the combined company became KLM Cityhopper on 1 April 1991.[3]
