Air France-KLM said Monday it would purchase 50 Airbus A350
family aircraft to renew the airline's long-haul fleet.
The French airline said it would also have the option to
purchase 40 additional aircraft. Deliveries are expected from 2026
to 2030.
The new planes would replace older aircraft, including the
Airbus A330 and Boeing 777.
Air France said after the aircraft are delivered the company
would operate the largest A350 family aircraft fleet in the
world.
The company said the purchase was a step toward reducing its
carbon dioxide and noise emissions.
