    A Strategic Fleet Overhaul

    The Group’s decision aims to rejuvenate and optimize its long-haul fleet. This will bolster both its environmental and economic performance. Aircraft deliveries are anticipated between 2026 and 2030, providing the Group flexibility to adjust allocations according to market trends and regulations.

    Benjamin Smith, CEO of Air France-KLM, praised the Airbus A350’s efficiency and passenger appeal. He highlighted its pivotal role in the Group’s sustainability goals, including a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions per passenger kilometer by 2030.

    Replacement and Expansion

    The new aircraft will replace older Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 planes. This order supplements an existing order of 41 Airbus A350-900s for Air France, with 22 already delivered. Furthermore, Air France-KLM will be among the first to acquire the Airbus A350 Full Freighter version, with 8 orders already placed.

    Evolution of the Fleet

    By 2028, new generation aircraft will comprise 64% of the Air France-KLM fleet, a substantial leap from 5% in 2019. As of now, the Group operates 533 aircraft worldwide and, after this order, will have over 220 aircraft awaiting delivery.
