KLM turned 107 on 7 October, and marked the date by presenting a new Delft Blue miniature house. The model is of Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre, a winery in Dreischor, Zeeland, which has supplied wine for the airline's Business Class for more than 20 years.

Numbered 107, it is the third Zeeland building in the collection. KLM has given the small houses, filled with genever, to Business Class passengers on intercontinental flights since the 1950s, and since 1994 each house's number has matched the airline's age.
