By the 1960s, #KLM also offered the houses as ashtrays, which were cleverly designed to allow the cigarette smoke to billow out the house’s chimney. Since then, the Holland-based ceramics manufacturer #Delftware has produced one hundred and two Delft Blue buildings.

Happy Birthday, @KLM! The company is the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name. In 1952, KLM began offering its first-class, long-haul passengers promotional giveaway Delftware gin bottles in the shape of traditional Dutch houses. #KLM

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines purchased a large fleet of the DC-8-63 and operated them though the 1980s. The airliner was reliable, comfortable, and ideal for the carrier’s transoceanic, world routes. #AviationEvolutions
