The noise from the galleys and lavatories located behind makes the seats of the last 44th row bad seats. Overhead bins of the seats 44AB and 44HJ are used by crew members to store their luggage and equipment. Due to awkward configuration transition of the seats from 3 to 2 these seats are misaligned a little with the seat back TV screens. Despite all these disadvantages an extra fee may be charge from passengers travelling with a partner as these are the only two seats placed next to each other.

Fleet development[edit]

Fleet strategy[edit]

B777 Mmel

KLM's first of 8 Boeing 787-10 aircraft was delivered on 28 June 2019; it featured 100th anniversary markings.[11]

On 19 June 2013, KLM had ordered 7 Airbus A350-900s. In June 2019, Air France–KLM announced that KLM will not take up any of the group's ordered A350s, because of fleet rationalization purposes.

B777 Klm Tracking

CEO Ben Smith has announced at Air France's Investor Day (5 November 2019) in Paris that 'in the near future' KLM will only use the 777 and 787 as their long-haul fleet, retiring their 13 A330's. This move would make KLM an all-Boeing airline.[12]

Special liveries[edit]

KLM has several aircraft painted in special liveries; they include:

  • PH-BVA, a Boeing 777-300ER, features an orange forward fuselage that fades into the standard blue to commemorate the Netherlands national team's participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[13]
  • PH-KZU, a Fokker F70, has been applied with a special livery featuring Anthony Fokker, the founder of Fokker, commemorating the airline's long-standing history with Fokker aircraft and the phase-out of the Fokker 70 aircraft in October 2017.[14]
  • Several aircraft bear the silver SkyTeam alliance livery, including PH-BVD (a 777-300ER), PH-BXO (a 737-900), and PH-EZX (a KLM Cityhopper ERJ-190).
  • PH-BKA, a Boeing 787-10, features the standard KLM livery with a 100 wrapped around its lettering on the plane, this is because of the 100 years of being an established airline.
