The carrier was formed as NLM Nederlandse Luchtvaart Maatschappij in 1966.[2] Starting operations on 29 August 1966 using leased Fokker F27 aircraft from the Royal Dutch Air Force, it was set up as a KLM subsidiary under a two-year contract to operate domestic services within the Netherlands.[2] The airline saw the incorporation of the Fokker F28 in 1978.[3]Template:Rp[4]
