In the presence of Infrastructure Minister Madlener, AF\/KLM CEO Ben Smith, and many other travel professionals, KLM <\/strong>took delivery of the first Airbus A321neo at Schiphol.
\nThe arrival of this new aircraft is an important step in the large-scale fleet renewal with which KLM wants to give a new impulse to cleaner, quieter and more economical flying.
\nThe A321neo will be the first to fly to Copenhagen, Berlin and Stockholm from mid-September. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The ‘neo’ stands for ‘new engine option’: the aircraft are equipped with new engines that emit less CO2 than their predecessors.
\nPer passenger kilometre, the A321neo is about 21% more fuel-efficient than the Boeing 737 aircraft it replaces.
\nIn addition, the aircraft will reduce noise pollution, with a noise footprint that is 50% smaller, causing less disruption to local residents, according to KLM. More comfort and convenience<\/strong> Passengers of the A321neo will soon have wider seats, larger tables and spacious luggage bins.
\nEach seat is equipped with a USB-C port and a holder for mobile or tablet.
\nThe aircraft also offers more convenience for the crew, including a wider aisle and easy-to-open luggage bins.
\nThe interior is designed to enhance the KLM experience, with more recognizable details and mood lighting that adapts the lighting to each stage of the journey. Butterfly Names <\/strong> The A321neo will fly to Copenhagen, Berlin and Stockholm from mid-September, followed by Paris, Prague and Vienna.
\nKLM will add three new A321neo aircraft to its fleet this year.
\nWith this new series of aircraft, KLM continues its tradition of giving aircraft unique names.
\nOver the past 104 years, various themes have been discussed, from names of members of the Royal Family to bridges, aviation pioneers and national parks.
\nMarjan Rintel: “This time, KLM employees were allowed to choose the theme. The winning theme has become butterflies, which fits in nicely with the transformation we are embarking on with the new fleet. The names of the first four A321neo aircraft are Swallowtail, Blackberry, Lemon Butterfly and Porcelain Butterfly.” Fleet renewal<\/strong> KLM will invest seven billion euros in fleet renewal in the coming years, a substantial share of the total investment portfolio.
\nOn European routes, KLM is replacing the older 737s with A320 and A321neo aircraft.
\nKLM Cityhopper will introduce new E2 models for the Embraer 175 and 190.
\nFor intercontinental flights, KLM is adding five new Boeing 787-10s, followed by the Airbus A350 replacing the older 777s and A330s.
\nFinally, KLM has ordered four A350Fs for the cargo division to replace the 747 freighters. <\/p>\n
“I’ve been looking forward to this moment immensely. With the arrival of the first A321neo, we mark the start of the replacement of our Boeing 737 fleet. The A321neo produces less noise and CO2, making an important contribution to a cleaner and quieter future. The aircraft also offers more comfort for passengers. I am very curious to see how they will experience it,’ said Marjan Rintel, President & CEO KLM.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
