US EditionAir France-KLM says new order from Airbus will help reach sustainability targets
- Air France-KLM plans to order 50 Airbus A350 long-haul jets, along with purchase rights for an additional 40, marking its largest-ever wide-body purchase. The decision to order from one supplier was driven by competitive prices and will help replace its Boeing 777-300ER long-haul jets.
- The airline's move to purchase these wide-body jets is partly motivated by the need to skirt Russian airspace due to ongoing Ukraine war sanctions. The range of the jets allows for more flexibility and operational efficiency.
- With this purchase, Air France-KLM will have the flexibility to allocate aircraft among its brands based on market or regulatory conditions. It also opens up possibilities for the airline to acquire other carriers, such as Portugal's TAP.
