One of five KLM<.> aircraft adorned with photographs of soccer stars David Beckham and Patrick Kluivert in action touched down at Athens international airport last Thursday.

KLM is the official carrier for the Euro 2000 soccer championship. The depictions of the two top players are designed to be able to withstand temperatures ranging from minus 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Kluivert stands 4.2m tall on the Boeing 737-800 while Beckham measures 7.9m. It is the first time in Dutch history that aircraft have been given such treatment.

KLM`s new regional manager Pieter Elbers said he was particularly pleased that the company had been chosen as the official Euro 2000 carrier.

In response to a question from TDN on ongoing discussions for cooperation between KLM and British Airways, he said a strategic alliance was being considered.
