KLM switching Boeing for Airbus in "cleaner, quieter, more economical" progam
KLM received its first-ever Airbus plane for short distances on Tuesday. The Airbus A321neo will replace the older Boeing 737s. The Dutch airline will eventually also replace its long-distance Boeings with Airbus planes. “The choice for Airbus was inspired by our ‘cleaner, quieter, more economical’ program,” a KLM spokesperson told NU.nl. “In the coming years, KLM will invest 7 billion euros in the new fleet.”
Until now, KLM has used the American Boeing 737s and the Brazilian Embraers for short distances. For long distances, KLM mainly flies with Boeing 777s, with the exception of a few old Airbus A330s.
