Integrating these new wide-body aircraft is anticipated to bring significant environmental benefits. The Airbus A350 is designed to substantially reduce CO2 emissions and noise impact, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and minimize ecological disturbances.

Marjan Rintel, CEO of KLM, expressed her enthusiasm regarding this pivotal decision, stating, "Today marks an extraordinary day for KLM. We have taken a big step towards our future with the proposed decision of purchasing a new aircraft. With the A350s, we can make our fleet significantly cleaner, quieter, and more fuel-efficient. This is crucial as we collectively face the immense challenge of becoming more sustainable. Additionally, these aircraft will enable us to offer enhanced service and comfort to our passengers on intercontinental routes."
