Briefing
KLM has already been preparing for the type: the carrier commissioned the Netherlands' first Airbus A350 full‑flight simulator at Schiphol to support pilot type‑rating and crew training ahead of deliveries (see the simulator commissioning).
The announcement comes alongside active A350 programme developments at Airbus, including the start of final assembly on the A350F and recent A350 delivery milestones (see A350F final assembly and A350-1000 delivery).
Air France‑KLM has been managing its A350 commitments more broadly — the group previously adjusted A350F order commitments, indicating active planning across passenger and freighter variants as deliveries approach (see Air France‑KLM A350F commitment changes).
