#18: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
KLM is the flag carrier of the Netherlands and one of the oldest airlines in the world, founded in 1919. It operates a wide global network from its hub in Amsterdam and is known for friendly service and efficient connections.

This position reflects its balance of strengths and limitations. The airline is easy to travel with, and the service tends to feel approachable and consistent. However, the onboard product, especially in economy, can feel fairly standard, which keeps it from ranking higher.
