From a traveler’s perspective, Martinair is not a passenger airline today but an all-cargo carrier based in the Netherlands; it does not sell seats to the public or offer in-flight services for passengers. Operations are focused on freight rather than scheduled passenger routes, and the airline’s commercial cargo activity is part of the broader Air France-KLM group rather than a passenger alliance member.

Frequent-flyer program

Martinair does not operate a passenger frequent-flyer program because it no longer offers scheduled passenger services; there are no passenger miles, elite tiers, or cabin-based redemptions to earn with Martinair itself. If you are traveling on a ticket marketed or operated by KLM or Air France, those flights are part of the Flying Blue program for mileage accrual and benefits.

Where Martinair Flies

Martinair is based at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) and focuses on scheduled and charter cargo services from that hub to destinations worldwide, including long-haul freight routes; it no longer operates regular passenger routes. Its commercial reach for freight is integrated with the Air France-KLM cargo network, which extends its service options beyond Martinair-operated flights.

Hubs

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

Martinair operates as an all-cargo airline and uses widebody freighter aircraft for scheduled and charter cargo services; there are no passenger cabins or in-flight classes to book on Martinair-operated flights.

Aircraft types operated: Convair CV-640, Fokker F28 Fellowship

Tips for Flying Martinair

  • Martinair no longer operates scheduled passenger services, so you cannot book a regular passenger ticket with them; book with KLM, Transavia, or other carriers for travel to/from Amsterdam.
  • If you find a ticket or marketing that mentions Martinair, verify which carrier is actually operating the flight and which frequent-flyer program to credit-passenger flights in the KLM/Air France group use Flying Blue.
  • Martinair operates as an all-cargo carrier, so baggage/seat-selection rules for passenger travel do not apply; cargo shipments should be arranged through freight forwarders or the Air France-KLM Cargo network.
  • For shipper questions about schedules, transit times or special cargo (dangerous goods, perishable items), contact Air France-KLM Cargo or a freight forwarder rather than a passenger reservations office.
