KLM's First Airbus A350 Delivered, But Business Class Will Stay Empty For Now
The 331-seat jet is part of an Air France-KLM order for 50 A350s, and business-class seat certification remains unresolved.
- On Friday, KLM took delivery of its first Airbus A350-900 at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, welcoming an aircraft named 'The Night Watch' inspired by Rembrandt's renowned painting.
- Part of a 2023 Air France-KLM group order for 50 A350s with options for 40 more, the aircraft will replace Boeing 777-200ERs and Airbus A330-200s and A330-300s from the fleet.
- The A350 seats 331 passengers across three cabins—34 in World Business Class, 26 in Premium Comfort Class, and 271 in Economy Class—while achieving a 25% fuel reduction through Rolls-Royce engines and lightweight materials.
- Although the European Union Aviation Safety Agency approved seat tests, KLM revealed in June that regulatory changes mean business-class seating will be unavailable when passenger flights begin in a few weeks.
- The aircraft will debut on routes to Toronto, followed by Montreal, Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi and Zanzibar, while the second A350 will be named 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' continuing the Dutch art theme.

For an airline to receive a new aircraft model, it is usually something very relevant for that company. But KLM highlights it with good video realizations, as it also did with the last Embraer 195 received a few months ago. Although here it did not make a very long video, I would not be surprised that in... The entry KLM received its first A350 and as always documented it very well on video was first published in Sir Chandler.
The Dutch airline KLM has taken over its first Airbus A350-900. The large-scale aircraft is scheduled to fly long-haul from Amsterdam. A destination in North America is already planned.
