In 1947, K.L.M. received the Lockheed L-49 Constellation as the first European airliner. The L-749 was introduced soon after. K.L.M. operated a total of 26 Lockheed L-49 / L-749 aircraft. They mainly flew long-haul flights to North America, the Caribbean, the Far East and Australia! In 1950, L-749s delivered in 1947/48 were converted to L-749As with a different exhaust system and landing gear. Due to a different exhaust system, the speed was slightly increased, namely by 8-16 km per hour. After the appearance of the DC8 in 1960, the remaining 10 Constellations were withdrawn from service. Five of them were sold for scrap in 1962/63, and the others were transferred to new owners. "Amsterdam" PX-TDC was delivered to K.L.M. November 8, 1948. On March 3, 1954, it was re-registered, now - PH LDK. On November 8, 1958, "Amsterdam" was decommissioned and on June 25, 1963, it went to the landfill.
