KLM’s decision to adopt the A321neo reflects broader trends in the aviation industry. It’s great to see airlines investing in newer, more efficient aircraft.
There are many fleets running old Boeing and Airbus narrow body fleets that have been flogged like buses. This is the last jet transition before any more radical design and allow for SAF fuel as a blend now and pure SAF in future
Not to forget that the Airbus planes (except the 220 which probably will be overhaled soon) can be flown with minimal training on each type. That is waht Boing tried to do with the MCA sor their 737 and the new Max planes. They failed to do it successfully because tey were to cheap and did not do it properly. People died due to this. I would not fly a Boeing for the foreseeable future-except the 747. That is so old, it has matured enough to work.
KLM’s switch to the A321neo makes a lot of sense given the fuel efficiency and environmental benefits. Excited to see how this impacts their operations!
As a fan of aviation, I'm excited to see KLM embracing the A321Neo. This aircraft has a lot to offer in terms of efficiency, range, and passenger comfort.
Flying is an acceptable risk, but flying with Boeing means pushing the limits of what is acceptable. Passenger comfort, safety and sense of security should not be underestimated. With Boeing that is long gone.
With the A321neo’s extended range, KLM will be able to explore new routes and offer better connectivity. This is a smart move for their fleet strategy.
For long time i may say i am fan of Boeing, but since the problems that Boeing cannot solve and the good developments at Airbus i can no longer say that. Also, support your local, and together with Air France, KLM has a great deal for the choice to switch over. Transavia also did a great job to switch over to the Neo's. Thumbs up for both. Wish them both many safe flight hours.
The A321neo’s improved capacity and noise reduction features are impressive. KLM’s passengers will likely appreciate the more comfortable and quieter flights.
KLM's shift to the A321Neo shows their commitment to efficiency and sustainability. It's great to see airlines making choices that benefit both their operations and the environment!
KLM were Douglas customers WAY before Boeing. I believe they had nearly every model that Douglas and then McDonnell Douglas made, When boeing took MD Over, they went with Boeing, however, have had had Airbus before
Come on, right now you gotta be really confident to fly new Boeing planes given all that has spilled out of their backyard. I certainly avoid the MAX and will keep doing that for many years. The fact that the producer basically lied to the operators and the authorities is brutal and reduces to zero the confidence. The NEO has simply bigger+more efficient engines, and for a few generations this has been enough to compel operators to new planes, since fuel is their biggest spending. The NEO with its fuel efficiency is like a Small Dreamliner or A350, very suitable to long point to point routes.
The statement that KLM could be an all Boeing-company is factually incorrect. For shorthaul KLM has heavily invested in Embraers. So, KLM always kept their options open.
The decision to move away from the 737 to the A321neo shows KLM’s commitment to modernizing its fleet. Great choice for reducing costs and improving performance.
It's also fair to add that Boeing has been forced into slowing down it's operations by the FAA who unsurprisingly wants to keep a closer eye on how the American company goes about their business and so Boeing aren't able to fulfill their orders as quickly. The knock-on effect of this is that some airlines will look elsewhere. KLM has already bought several Embraer airliners and are currently replacing their 737s with a321neo as you have touched on. They have also ordered several a350 to replace their Dreamliners but delivery isn't until 2026 for these long-haul airliners.
The A321Neo's quieter engines and increased passenger capacity are major advantages for KLM. Passengers will definitely appreciate the improved experience.
@@FLIGAVIA Flew with TAP on 330 and 321, and i was surprised by this aircraft. (had to book extra legroom tho). Was quiet, could have a solid rest on a long haul flight. With KLM's friendly staff i possibly would choose for them. And sometimes you can have really good deals with KLM, even tho they are mostly a bit on the high price. But you get what you pay for... KLM is solid good.
Had a friend who lived in the Amsterdam neighbourhood of Buitenveldert, some 600 meters from the descending planes using the socalled Buitenveldertbaan, runway 09/27. godawful noise even at 600 meters distance and especially so in the early morning. Noise reduction for Schipho; is a major thing for the people of the region even if it is not so much a commercial driver like using less fuel or flying farther with the same amount or transport more for the same amount of fuel.
Yes I also live in the Netherlands and everytime I fly from Schiphol i hear the Boeingplanes make so fucking much noise yeah can hear the everywhere in the airport sometimes also silently in the bathrooms
Sign of the times , Boeing current issues started many years ago , I just watched a TV aircraft investigation involving Boeing complacency many years ago . Boeing could fold as an aircraft manufacturer I believe. They have themselves to blame . Boeing using an updated aircraft based on the old 737 , they can not complete with airbus , providing new and better aircraft . If it a Boeing I am not going , if I flying Boeing I may end up going ! Reputation is vital for survival in the airline industry.
And let’s also not forget the aspect that Schiphol is requiring reduced noise levels from airlines to resolve or at least accommodate long lasting complaints about too high noise levels from people living in the vicinity of Schiphol Airport. As due to the expansions over the years -both of Schiphol and of the built up / housing areas surrounding the airport- noise pollution had become and still remains to be an also politically sensitive issue.
Boeing is a classic example of what happens to a company when the bean counters assume the power, in this case, instead of design and engineering calling the shots. Hunger for short term gain overlooks the potential for long term pain. The MAX is not the only problem in the Boeing camp. The 787 line in Alabama is also suffering quality issues. I wouldn't be surprised if KL eventually replaces their 78-9 fleet with A350s.
@@AndrewLarson-mq7xc The only way that will happen is if their corporate culture undergoes a massive change and wrests power from the accountants. How many "overnights" do you believe that will take?
Plus the engines can't run in synthetic aviation fuel SAF. It's main Dutch hub wants to cut flights but not passengers, so "bigger" planes need to be ordered now for definite delivery while cutting costs so that a bigger seat capacity plane can run with less passengers at the same profit margin. It may also be an indication that Airbus pilots are "easier" to recruit. Mostly is frustrated Boeing has as this will add to KLMs cost in having two fleet types even if the 787 would be less efficient on paper
Boeing has neglected to design a new aircraft and has always added new parts to the 737, which originally dates from 1967, until they were left with an outdated aircraft to which no more parts could be added. All this to please the shareholder, because developing a new aircraft costs a lot of money, and now, they have been sideways passed by Airbus, who are bringing a new aircraft. So the shareholders are shooting in their own foot.
I am surprised that you do not mention the fact that the Airbus A321 neo is delivered to KLM in a containerized version. B737max does not have this option. For loading/unloading this makes a big difference for the ground staff performing this tasks. In view of Dutch or EU legislation this is not to be underestimated.
KLM’s focus on fuel efficiency with the A321neo aligns with current industry trends towards sustainability. This move could set an example for other airlines.
KLM's decision to unify its fleet with the A321Neo aligns with the Air France-KLM Group's strategy to streamline operations. This move will likely bring significant cost savings.
Wise decision, Airbus currently makes/supplies a better and more reliable aircraft with better performance on noise/kerosene use and a more spacious seat layout.💪🏼
[9:49] 'The worlds leading aircraft manufacturer'. This would be Boeing, right? Is this still the case? What is 'leading'? The company that sets the pace for the market? That would likely be Airbus with them bringing to market the most new or improved types in the last decade. Or does leading refer to the technological advancement? In that case Boeing is also behind, with Airbus using more efficient designs and high cockpit similarity between wildly diverse types. I guess the American dream of Boeing being a leader in a relative commodity market of passenger aircraft has come down like a lead zeppelin in the last decade. They seem unable to bring new designs to market, cut corners on production and engineering quality. That is not the attitude an industry leader is required to have.
With the delays to the Max 10’s certification makes sense. Also, let’s be fair the Max is a bit of a disaster! Better be safe this time and stick to Airbus until Boeing can get it’s house in order.
calling the Max a disaster in 2024 is pretty wild, also what happened to that A350 again which was supposed to be "uncrashable" stated by Airbus? seems Boeing isnt the only company to lie
Sorry, but it is a disaster, if anyone can’t see that they are deluded. Boeing are killing people with a poor company culture and shabby manufacturing practices. I am no Airbus fanboy. At the end of the day Boeing used to make great products. They have lost their way. Airbus have made their mistakes that’s true, but nothing on Boeing’s scale. The max has proven to be dangerous several times. It’s a flying coffin.
that's nothing confirmed at all. While you're only mentioning the A321Neo, you need to know that this Airbus airframe would only possibly replace the 737-900 fleet. In order to replace the 737-800s there would have been talks of A320Neo which until now nothing was said. Therefore, it appears the ordered A321Neo fleet would be a small one within KLM serving few here and there long thin routes, and not fully replacing the 737 NG fleet (yet) as you imply.
If you want to renew old 737s the choice is either the Max or the neos…. Not much of a choice I would say. But that’s just me…. These guys usually only care about operational costs.
Let's just cut to the chase, would you be volunteering to fly on a Boeing airliner in this day and age with the company's reputation and name so tarnished - I know that I wouldn't really want to. Plus, it actually looks as if Airbus makes a better product these days. The engines are quieter, the airliner has more range in terms of the number of nautical miles it can fly before it has to be refuelled. It's probably better to be buying from the French airliner manufacturer than from Boeing as things currently stand. I don't really see Boeing's level of trust that they once enjoyed from the likes of KLM or Qantas being returned to anything like it was before the boardroom decided to put something other than SAFETY at the top of their priority list. Boeing's loss is Airbus' gain, and that of Embraer and Bombardier.
I wanted to Garuda Indonesia need to Says "GOODBYE" to BOEING 737 and 777 and turned to AIRBUS including A220, A319neo, A320neo, A321neo/lr/xlr, A330-800/900neo and A350-900/1000 xwb/ulr also for cargo flight A350f. So the Garuda Indonesia will have only AIRBUS than BOEING for the future.
"If it's Boeing, I'm not going". That's all about it. Good decision from KLM!

I guess KLM isn’t choosing a plane where doors fly off on their own, bolt missing on vital part and who knows, wings to fall off?
A321 is the all around best jet out there. it's not a wide body jumbo, but has good capacity, great range, fuel efficiency, and quiet. can't compare

Plus, it actually looks as if Airbus makes a better product these days.
The engines are quieter, the airliner has more range in terms of the number of nautical miles it can fly before it has to be refuelled.
It's probably better to be buying from the French airliner manufacturer than from Boeing as things currently stand.
I don't really see Boeing's level of trust that they once enjoyed from the likes of KLM or Qantas being returned to anything like it was before the boardroom decided to put something other than SAFETY at the top of their priority list.
Boeing's loss is Airbus' gain, and that of Embraer and Bombardier.
I wanted to Garuda Indonesia need to Says "GOODBYE" to BOEING 737 and 777 and turned to AIRBUS including A220, A319neo, A320neo, A321neo/lr/xlr, A330-800/900neo and A350-900/1000 xwb/ulr also for cargo flight A350f. So the Garuda Indonesia will have only AIRBUS than BOEING for the future.
They are already buying a330-900neo
Boeing will still be a part of the KLM fleet with the relatively new 777 and some brand new 787 planes.
