Fast track security in Scotland for SkyPriority passengers

(7 July, 2014) – As of 1 July 2014, Air France and KLM are offering SkyPriority customers access to fast track security at the three Scottish airports served by both airlines: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Glasgow.

Fast track is a dedicated lane at security for passengers with SkyPriority boarding passes, which allows a quicker and more stress free journey through the airport security process. This new access will benefit all Business and Premium Economy passengers that fly with Air France and KLM from Scottish airports, as well as the Flying Blue Elite Plus members1.

For the last 13 years, KLM has been regularly acknowledged at the Scottish Passenger Agency Association Awards, last year as the runner-up in the Best European Airline category, demonstrating the airline’s commitment to Scotland.

Air France and KLM offer convenient and seamless global travel for both leisure and business passengers, across more than 200 worldwide destinations, via their hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol. With quick and easy internet check in facilities, passengers can avoid the airport queues, choose their seats, and check-in online, as early as 30 hours prior to departure.
