KLM has revealed its new livery for upcoming Airbus A321neo aircraft. The first aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in August this year.
Minor changes
KLM has revealed new livery for Airbus A321neo aircraft, with minor changes to the current livery. The dark line separating KLM’s trademark blue and white swoops farther down, rendering the nosedome completely blue. This will ensure that, in the event of an emergency replacement, a new nosedome can be fitted without disrupting the signature blue markings. Another new standout feature is the black outline around the cockpit windows, making them look like sunglasses. This is called an “Eye Mask” by Airbus.
The Amsterdam-based airline says that passengers “will experience a greater level of comfort thanks to the A321neo’s wider seats, larger tray tables and spacious luggage bins”. Each seat is equipped with a tablet holder and a USB port, and there is multi-coloured “mood lighting” that adjusts at every stage of the flight. Crew members will also have more room for manoeuvre thanks to the wider aisle and easy-to-reach overhead bins.

KLM says that the A321neo’s interior was meticulously designed to enhance the KLM experience, with additional blue detailing and special lighting at the entrance to ensure a warm welcome.
The arrival of the A321neo marks a major upgrade of our European fleet. It is 50% quieter and generates 15% fewer carbon emissions than the aircraft it is replacing, making this an important step towards cleaner, quieter and more fuel-efficient aviation.
said Marjan Rintel, CEO, KLM.
KLM has not yet revealed the interiors. We will probably get to see it closer to the delivery of the first A321neo, sometime in July 2024. KLM has around 30 A321neos on order.
The carrier has announced that Copenhagen, Berlin and Stockholm will be the initial set of destinations that will receive KLM’s new A321neos.
Meanwhile, KLM recently revealed how it is using Artificial Intelligence to combat food waste onboard its flights.
