The Airbus A350 represents an important step towards a cleaner and quieter fleet. Compared to the Boeing 777-200ER, the A350 consumes 25% less fuel and has a 40% smaller noise footprint. For passengers, the A350 sets a new standard in comfort, offering the quietest cabin in its class, improved air quality, and higher cabin pressure. Pilots benefit from a fully digital cockpit, providing new opportunities for efficiency and support.
Fleet Renewal
KLM will invest €7 billion in fleet renewal over the coming years. In addition to the introduction of the Airbus A350, this includes the Embraer 195-E2 for KLM Cityhopper, new Airbus A321neo aircraft for European routes, and the Boeing 787 for intercontinental flights. In 2027, the A350F will join the fleet for cargo operations.
