In August, European planemaker made 47 commercial aircraft deliveries to 31 customers, taking the yearly total planes delivered to 447 to 75 customers.   The company also confirmed it had taken orders for 46 aircraft during the month. 


Among the airlines getting new aircraft were: Air France, Breeze, IndiGo, Frontier Airlines, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Jet2, Cathay Pacific, KLM, Korean Air, Starlux and China Eastern Airlines. 

The airlines ordering planes during August included Airbaltic with 10 A220 jets, Cathay Pacific with 30 A330-900 models, plus 3 A320neo and 3 A350-900s which are currently attributed to private customers.    

On 27th August 2024 the Dutch national carrier KLM took delivery of its first A321neo as part of their fleet modernisation with the latest generation, fuel-efficient aircraft. With the aircraft, KLM joins the community of successful A321neo operators.

By selecting the A321neo, KLM brings on-board the latest technology to lower decibels and to reduce the noise footprint during take-off, approach and landing. Together with its advanced fuel efficiency, the A321neo will play a key role in KLM’s environmental ambition. 

The newly delivered A321neo for KLM seats 227 passengers in a two-class layout. The cabin features Airbus’ Airspace cabin with XL bins. The larger bins provide 60% more luggage capacity for a more relaxed boarding experience for passengers and cabin crew. In addition, USB-C ports are available for passengers at every seat, and the latest lighting system enhances the overall passenger experience.
