As well as being the home of the Bollywood movie, Mumbai is India’s commercial and financial capital.
KLM president and chief executive Pieter Elbers said: “This latest addition will bring the total number of direct flights between the Netherlands and India next winter to 31 flights a week. This will be a great stimulus for ties between the two countries.”
