50 Years of Holland Herald – a golden jubilee

It’s 50 years since Holland Herald was first taken onboard a KLM aircraft in 1966. This month we celebrate our inflight magazine’s jubilee with a special issue, in which we look back on 50 years of Holland Herald. Holland Herald is now the longest running inflight magazine in the world.

Holland Herald can boast a splendid past. In the February issue, a number of former editors will reflect on their time at Holland Herald. The magazine has undergone huge changes since 1966, from primarily back-and-white beginnings, mainly concerned with promoting the Netherlands, to the full-colour, internationally oriented glossy it is today. At the end of the 1970s, Holland Herald began to take a broader outlook, shifting its focus from the largely national to the international. It’s hard to imagine KLM aircraft without the Holland Herald onboard. More than 150 different inflight magazines are published worldwide and Holland Herald, with 594 issues to its name, is the oldest.
