Another Airline Is Now Ending Flights From Minnesota

If you were hoping to catch a non-stop flight from Minnesota to this European city this year, it appears you're out of luck-- at least on one airline, anyway.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is the largest airport in the North Star State. So it's no surprise that a LOT of Minnesotans (and Iowans and Wisconsinites and others) head through the TSA checkpoints at both of MSP's two terminals each year when traveling across the country and overseas.

It helps that you can fly to A LOT of different places directly from MSP without having to catch a connecting flight elsewhere. In fact, the airport says that airlines at MSP served 163 nonstop destinations from the Land of 10,000 Lakes in 2023, up from 156 destinations in 2023 and 145 destinations in 2022.

But there will soon be one *less* destination to which you can fly non-stop from MSP. That's the word from travel guru, Kyle Potter, of the travel site, Thrifty Traveler. In a post on his X (formerly Twitter page), Kyle explained that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is NOT planning on restarting non-stop flights from MSP to Amsterdam later this year as originally planned.

It was last July when Kyle first posted the news that KLM would be ending non-stop service from MSP to Amsterdam (AMS) in the late fall 2024 through late March 2025. But now, it appears that those flights now won't resume until March of 2026.

Luckily, if traveling to Amsterdam is still on your list later this year, you *can* still fly non-stop from MSP. But you'll need to book your flights on Delta Air Lines, and not KLM, as Kyle also noted.

Airlines cutting flights is nothing new, of course. Last October, Sun Country Airlines announced it was dropping flights from MSP to five different cities in North America. And then in December 2024, Frontier Airlines announced it was dropping non-stop service from MSP to three U.S. cities, as well.
