KLM fleet

This article is about the mainline KLM fleet, including the historical fleets of KLM. For information about the fleet of KLM Cityhopper, see KLM Cityhopper.

The Dutch flag carrier airline KLM operates a fleet of 123 aircraft. The narrow-body fleet is composed of mostly Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft which will be replaced by Airbus A320neo family aircraft. Airbus A330, Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner wide-body aircraft are used on medium and long-haul flights. In September 2023, Air France-KLM announced an order for 50 Airbus A350 aircraft which will be shared between KLM and Air France to replace their aging Airbus A330 and Boeing 777-200ER aircraft.[1]

Fleet development

Fleet strategy

KLM's first of eight Boeing 787-10 aircraft was delivered on 28 June 2019; it featured centennial markings.[66]

CEO Ben Smith has announced at Air France's Investor Day (5 November 2019) in Paris that "in the near future", KLM will only use the Boeing 777 and 787 as their long and medium-haul fleet, respectively, after retiring their thirteen Airbus A330s.[67] This move would have made KLM an all-Boeing carrier, however, KLM announced in December 2021 that an order was placed for 100 Airbus A320neo family aircraft which will be shared with Transavia and Transavia France. This order will replace KLM's short-haul Boeing 737 fleet alongside Transavia's.[citation needed]

There was considerable speculation on the replacement of KLM’s aging 777 and A330 fleet, of which the oldest 777-200ERs date back to 2003. On 23 August 2023, it was reported that contrary to prior speculation that KLM was considering Airbus A350 and Boeing 777X aircraft types, it would likely opt to further increase the number of Boeing 787 Dreamliners in the existing fleet.[68] This was disproven when Air France–KLM placed an order for 50 Airbus A350s.[1]

Special liveries

KLM has several aircraft painted in special liveries; they include:

  • PH-BVA, a Boeing 777-300ER, features an orange forward fuselage that fades into the standard blue to commemorate the Netherlands national team's participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[69]
  • PH-KZU, a Fokker 70, has been applied with a special livery featuring Anthony Fokker, the founder of Fokker, commemorating the airline's long-standing history with Fokker aircraft and the phase-out of the Fokker 70 aircraft in October 2017.[70]
