The airline was established in April 1991 and started operations the same year. It was formed from the merger of NLM CityHopper and Netherlines. As part of KLM restructuring plans, its regional subsidiaries (including KLM UK) merged in November 2002 under the KLM Cityhopper name. It is wholly owned by KLM and has 910 employees (in March 2007).[1].

Several of KLM’s internal European routes are operated by both KLM and KLM Cityhopper, depending on the day of the week and the time of year. For example, flight KL1273 from Amsterdam Schiphol to Côte d'Azur International Airport in Nice, France, is operated by KLM during the months of daylight saving time, and KLM Cityhopper for the rest of the year. Other flights are operated exclusively by KLM Cityhopper.[citation needed]
As of August 2007, the KLM Cityhopper fleet includes [1] :
- 14 Fokker 50
- 21 Fokker 70
- 20 Fokker 100
- 10 (on order) Embraer 190. (18 options for the Air France-KLM group).
KLM Cityhopper will phase out 15 of their 20 Fokker F100 aircraft. This phase out will start in the third quarter of 2008 and will be completed by early 2010. They will be replaced by 10 aircraft of the Embraer E190 type. In addition, five younger Fokker 70 aircraft will be obtained from Air France Régional[2].
KLM Cityhopper had a fatal accident, KLM Cityhopper Flight 433, on April 4, 1994 [2] [3].
