Introducing "The Night Watch": Inside KLM's 1st Ever Airbus A350-900, Inspired By Dutch Painters

KLM is introducing its first Airbus A350-900, a milestone in its long‑haul fleet renewal. The aircraft, already bearing full KLM livery, is in final preparations in Toulouse and is slated for delivery by the end of August 2026, with commercial operations planned to begin in September. The Night Watch naming theme ties each A350 to iconic Dutch masterpieces, celebrating national heritage on a global stage. The cabin seats 331 across three classes, and the carrier notes the A350 uses about 25% less fuel than the Boeing 777-200ER, while offering a smaller noise footprint.
