KLM and Delta Air Lines are the official airline partners of WorldPride 2026 in Amsterdam

August was all about Pride: a month in which diversity, equality, and inclusion were celebrated to the fullest in Amsterdam and far beyond. KLM and Delta Air Lines are concluding this special event by announcing that they are the official airline partners of WorldPride 2026 in Amsterdam. The event is expected to attract 2 million visitors and will once again put Amsterdam on the international map as a city where everyone can be themselves, 25 years after the legalization of marriage for same-sex couples.

WorldPride 2026 promises to be the largest Pride ever held in Amsterdam. As the official airline partner, KLM, together with partner Delta Air Lines, is supporting WorldPride 2026 and will bring thousands of passengers from all over the world to Amsterdam.

WorldPride is an international event that takes place in a different city every two to three years. After the 2025 edition in Washington, Amsterdam will follow as the host city in 2026. This edition marks several anniversaries: 25 years since the first marriage between same-sex couples, 30 years of Pride Amsterdam, and 80 years of COC Netherlands, the world’s oldest existing LGBTQI+ organization.

Diversity and Inclusion

At KLM, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion. As an airline, we have been connecting people from all over the world for more than a century. Our passengers and employees come from countless backgrounds and cultures, and it is our mission to ensure that everyone feels accepted, valued, and respected. The partnership with WorldPride 2026 is a natural continuation of this mission and an opportunity to support the LGBTQI+ community.

Moreover, KLM needs all talents and perspectives on board to continue flying, improving, and innovating. The partnership with WorldPride 2026 is not just a celebratory milestone for KLM, but also the next step in our commitment to a world where everyone feels at home, on board and beyond.

“At KLM, we believe that everyone should feel welcome, no matter where you come from or who you are. For us, WorldPride 2026 is more than just an event, it’s an opportunity to show that connection and inclusion are part of KLM’s DNA. We are proud to join forces with Pride Amsterdam to bring people from all over the world together to celebrate the freedom to be yourself.”
