KLM is betting on environmental friendliness and comfort with its new Airbus A321neo aircraft: when and where the first flights will take off
Dutch airline KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has opened reservations for its first Airbus A321neo aircraft, scheduled to commence flights in the third quarter of 2024. These additions to the fleet are anticipated to enhance the company's European flight offerings.
According to AeroRoutes, the A321neo routes will include Stockholm, Berlin, and Copenhagen, with the inaugural flights set to depart on August 26, 2024, from Amsterdam.
KLM plans to configure its aircraft to accommodate up to 227 passengers, although the website currently indicates a capacity for 217 passengers.
The Airbus A321neo is hailed as the most advanced narrow-body aircraft globally and is among the most sought-after in its class. By the beginning of 2023, nearly 3,000 Airbus A321neo aircraft had been delivered.
These aircraft feature new engines that promise a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and a 15% decrease in nitrogen oxide emissions. Moreover, the cabin of the aircraft has been upgraded to include wider seats and increased luggage space.
