Why KLM Said “GOODBYE” To B737 And Turned To A321neo 

In 25 years, Boeing will be similar to Lockheed Martin.

KLM has been a faithful Boeing customer for decades I am happy to know that KLM made a pragmatic decision And decided to move to the A-320 neo family

Underrated channel ngl, bullshit youtube algorithm video should be up there with DJs aviation. Keep up the good work Aviaat

The noise aspect cannot be underestimated. Schiphol, KLM's base, has a very big noise problem. It's Europe's fourth busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers. More people fly via Schiphol than via Frankfurt. But the Netherlands is also one of the most densely populated countries in Europe (not _the_ most densely populated, not by a long shot, despite what some Dutch like to think). The government has had a, shall we say, flexible approach towards the noise pollution from Schiphol, because money. But there's a lot of pressure, including court cases, to comply with environmental laws. So the plan was hatched to drastically reduce the number of flights. That's when the Americans chipped in, and told the Dutch in no uncertain terms that this would lead to them losing landing rights in the USA, on the oh so profitable transatlantic route. 50% less noise is a no-brainer.

2:31 'neo' in the first place stands for 'new engine option', but I'm sure it also coincided nicely with the regular meaning of the word neo.

This channel is unbelievably underrated, I love all the info I’m getting on the a321neo and XLR. Definitely subscribing!

It's AirFrance/KLM, so that french connection might have played a major role too, but KLM was kind of disappointed with the quality of their 787s too when they got them.

You gotta have a lot of guts to say that Boeing has "tackled and solved" their issue's

I was here at 300 subs! Great video mate

Very Good video!❤❤ Underated channel i subscribesd! have a great day and keep it up! ❤❤

KLM has the last 737-800 ever built however. It was built in 2019. Registration is PH-BCL

For people with adhd: 737 go boom and a320 neo don’t go boom.

As a passenger it makes me nervous to fly any 737 given all the safety issues Boeing's had with the newer models over the last several years. I just flew with KLM from Schipoll to Los Angeles on a 787 dreamliner. Very comfortable flight with excellent service.

KLM is also transitioning from the Booeing 787 to Airbus A350. Initially, KLM was going to fly the A350 with Air France primarily flying the 787. Then, 787s went to KLM with all A350s going to Air France. Now, KLM will replace the 787 with A350. Air France might continue to fly both. We will all see

What the music 0:01

The thumbnail really killed me

The way America treats ASML I'm not at all surprised more and more Dutch companies are avoiding dealing with Americans. Imagine Boeing saying where we can and can't fly.

Nice video

Airbus A320 is more silent compare to B737 Max. I guess A321 also is.

Boeing in 10 years will stop making commercial passenger planes and focus on its military contracts. Opening the door for Lockheed Martin to come back to the passenger plane making business or a new up and commer

Editorial comment: the plural of "aircraft" is.... "aircraft."

The french government has a minor stake in both Airbus and Air France-KLM and they choose the Airbus option…I believe that’s not a coincidence.

Clever airline. Bravo!

Am listin to tis while Playing gta 5 online 😂😂

Here before you blowup

These changes happen . In fact KLM was never a Boeing airline , it used McDonnell Douglas DC9 , DC8 and DC10s . It was quite a shock when they moved to 737s to replace DC9s . Switching from Boeing is not so huge . In any case , as part of Air France group , Air France already has A320 etc , so no great surprise .

Don’t forget the A350

Dont forget the huge effect of France and Eu was stabbed in the back by AUKUS on the submarine deals. Air france klm orders came just after as a response.

Well looks like Boeing is going full military now. Let’s see who wins Boeing or Lockheed Martin.

With the Air France-KLM Group 20% purchase of SAS Group - then it is logical as Air France and Scandinavian Airlines only use the Airbus A320 family in that size group. I am quite sure that the A321neo LR/XLR will decentralize the flight routes especially between Western Europe and Eastern North America. The 737 MAX cannot compete in that market. If you are not on the bandwagon with the long skinny routes, you will lose customers. With the A320 family, it will also be easier to get certified pilots, etc. to the A350, as the Airbus planes have largely identical cockpits, apart from the old A300 and A310. The alignment of the fleet is also found in the subsidiaries. Air France Hop, KLM Cityhopper and SAS Link, which only use Embraer E-Jet family aircrafts.

KLM also had problems with the 787's when they got them newly delivered. Cable issue's, panels sitting lose, some seats were missing some bolts or they weren't mounted correctly and also sitting lose. Boeing as an manufacturer is failing and their quality has declined a lot

I think because KLM is scared of lion air flight 610 and flight 302 (not meaning any thin bad just a joke)

I swear almost every airline is turning to airbus

Yahya Ahmed Ibrahim and airlines Everyone and everyone

L choice tbh, L KLM, my country's airline just betraying like that imagine.

When discussing sustainability how much of the airframe can recycled at end of economic life Carbon fibre and other composites are not suited to recycling

Good. I will never fly Boeing's flying coffin airplanes.

Bye-bye Boeing! In AirBus I trust.

Air Canada and WestJet are filling up on the 737. Hence I avoid them where I can. Go Porter! Not a nasty Boeing in sight.

Iph its Bóiñgg I izza Ķňõtt Ģoieńg 😟😰😩😰😟😰😩😰😟😟😰😩😨😨😨😧😦😧😩😰😟😰😩😩😩😩😨😨😳😵😶😳

Well now I guess I won’t be flying KLM anymore

Poor 737 it doesnt deserve this😭

KLM has merged with Air France recently. They are rationalising their fleet.

Please stop using the word "aircrafts." You sound like you don't understand the aviation industry. There is no such word in the English language. Aircraft is both singular and plural.

Let’s be honest 787looks best in klm livery (Who agrees) also not bagging👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

KLM the tax payers airline😂😂😂😂😂

737 are more reliable planes

Such a bad video. The A32X Neo is supposed to be the latest and most modern single isle jet? Have theese guys not heard of the A220 or the Comac c919...

pure bullshit. KLM is not saying goodbye to the 737 for at least another 2 or 3 decades. it proves extremely profitable in flights around the EU. so what is KLM gonna use a longer range A321neo for? long transatlantic flights? pure bullshit dude. leave that job to the 777 or 787.
