KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has teamed up with Dutch three Michelin-star chef Jacob Jan Boerma to create a tantalizing new menu for the airline’s World Business Class. The new menus will be available on flights out of Amsterdam.

KLM has been serving meals by leading Dutch chefs in World Business Class for many years. By working with top chefs, KLM continues its promotion of the culinary world on board. The tableware is designed by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, which perfectly matches KLM’s “International Dutch” product vision. Past meals were designed by Cees Helder, Margot Janse, Sergio Herman, Richard Ekkebus, Mario Ridder, Richard van Oostenbrugge and Jonnie Boer. Boerma is the first chef to enrich the KLM kitchen for a whole year.

“KLM is once again proud to work with a chef from a Michelin three-star restaurant,” says Miriam Kartman, executive vice president inflight services. “This time it is Jacob Jan Boerma of restaurant De Leest in Vaassen who will be providing delicious meals with entirely their own signature. KLM’s World Business Class passengers have always appreciated the meals designed by our top chefs and I fully expect Jacob Jan’s menus to delight our customers.”

Jacob Jan has compiled four different menus, all of which seamlessly match the quality of KLM.

“It is a fantastic challenge to work with KLM, one of the greatest airlines in the world,” says Boerma. “I am very much looking forward to welcoming you to personally experience the menus at high altitude.”

Jacob Jan Boerma and Kim Veldman opened restaurant De Leest in Vaassen in 2002. The restaurant received its first Michelin star in 2003, its second in 2007 and, in 2014, the ultimate achievement, its third Michelin star. With a French culinary theme and cosmopolitan influences, De Leest is among the leaders of Dutch gastronomy. www.klm.com
