Airbus fleet

For long it was unclear if KLM would also install a new seat in the Airbus fleet, after the retrofit of the Boeing aircraft was completed. These are often assigned on shorter routes. Additionally, the airline has already started fasing out the type. However, KL has still chosen to also upgrade the Airbus type. According to the latest statement, the first modified plane will start flying at the start in 2018. In the meantime, you will have to cope with the old, angled seat.
