KLM PRESS STATEMENT

AMSTELVEEN, January 12, 2004 — Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij nv (KLM) announces that it has filed a Form 20-F/A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). This Form 20-F/A amends certain items of KLM’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, which was filed with the SEC on June 12, 2003.

In connection with KLM’s proposed combination with Air France, KLM’s Annual Report on Form 20-F will be incorporated by reference by Air France into a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 on Form F-4. The amendments were made in that connection and to increase the comparability of information in the Form F-4 to that contained in KLM’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

A copy of the Form 20-F/A may be obtained from KLM’s investor relations website (http://investorrelations.klm.com) under the heading ‘SEC filings’.

For more information, please contact Investor Relations at +31 20 649 30 99, or Media Relations at +31 20 649 45 45.

KLM PRESS STATEMENT

AMSTELVEEN, December 30, 2003 — Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij nv (KLM) announces that it has filed today its interim results for the first six months of fiscal 2003/04 (April — September 2003) reconciled under US GAAP with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These figures will be cross-referenced in the registration statement on Form F-4 that will be filed with the SEC by Air France in due course.

In addition to the regular reconciling item relating to pension accounting, the main difference between the interim results under Netherlands GAAP and under US GAAP relates to the accounting treatment of KLM’s reorganization provision (EUR 75 million). Under US GAAP, this provision has been recognized in the first half of the current fiscal year, while under Netherlands GAAP it has already been recognized in the previous fiscal year.

A copy of the interim results under US GAAP filed with the SEC may be obtained from KLM’s investor relations website (http://investorrelations.klm.com) under the heading ‘SEC filings’.

For more information, contact Investor Relations at +31 20 649 3099, or Media Relations at +31 20 649 4545.
