KLM Signs Follow-up Contract for a Couple of A330s

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has signed a contract for the acquisition of two further A330-200s, bringing their total A330 fleet to 12 aircraft. These new A330s will play a major role in KLM’s long-term fleet renewal and future expansion.

The A330s, powered by CF6-80E(1A3) engines, will mainly serve on intercontinental routes, and will have a two-class configuration with 251 seats.

“With the excellent record of the A330 in terms of economics and efficiency, this order for two additional A330 aircraft was a natural choice. These aircraft perfectly fulfill our expectations in terms of passenger comfort and optimized operational costs, and are an excellent investment to further strengthen our market position,” Peter Hartman, president & CEO of KLM, explained.
