KLM Group chooses Airbus A320neo family for KLM and Transavia’s European fleet
The KLM Group’s order forms part of a memorandum of understanding that the Air France-KLM Group has signed for a total of 100 aircraft of the A320neo family, plus an option on 60 additional aircraft of the same type. These aircraft are intended for KLM as well Transavia Netherlands and Transavia France.
From late 2023, these new A320neo/A321neo aircraft will begin replacing KLM and Transavia’s existing Boeing 737 NG aircraft on European routes. Having previously opted for the Embraer 195-E2 aircraft for intra-European flights, this new order is an important step in enhancing sustainability, customer experience, comfort and efficiency.
These new aircraft will substantially improve the sustainability of KLM’s fleet. The Airbus A320neo family not only produces 50% less noise than the current, older generation of aircraft, but also reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions to 15%.
This improvement in sustainability, combined with the use of sustainable aviation fuel and improving operational innovation and efficiency, will contribute significantly to achieving the climate objectives laid down in the Paris Agreement. Lower fuel consumption will reduce costs, creating more room for investment in operations for a stronger future. In addition to initiatives such as “Fly Responsibly”, KLM recently aligned its objectives for reducing CO2 emissions with the UN Climate Agreement signed in Paris.
Further details on the definitive choice of engine as well as cabin configuration and equipment will be decided and announced in due course.

Looks great! but I would really like it if you could replace the thumbnail for the livery to something that looks more like the default. I know that is a minor thing but it does bother me 😊
