From October 2015, KLM will begin welcoming the
Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to its fleet. Air France
KLM has ordered 25 of these aircraft, the first
of which is scheduled for delivery in October
2015.
The Boeing Dreamliner can carry 276 passengers,
burns 15% less fuel than its predecessor, and
has lower noise impact and CO2 emissions. This
coincides with KLM’s pledge to contribute to a
more sustainable air transport industry. Until
the new aircraft arrive, KLM will deploy its
Airbus A330s and Boeing 777s to replace the
MD-11.
A series of MD-11 Farwell Flights will be
operated on November 11, 2014. KLM has organized
three special roundtrips over the Netherlands,
giving fans a last chance to enjoy their
favorite jetliner. Unfortunately, the tickets
for these flights are sold out, but MD-11
aficionados do stand a chance of winning two
last tickets in the social media campaign
Bye-Bye MD-11, which will be on until Thursday,
October 30.
