Air France-KLM Orders Additional Airbus Freighter and Passenger Jets

Frankfurt — The French-Dutch airline Air France-KLM is renewing its fleet with additional wide-body jets from Airbus, the airline announced in Paris on Friday. The order comprises four freighters of the new A350F type and three passenger jets of the A350-900 type, it said. The freighters will be used by KLM's Martinair subsidiary to replace older Boeing 747F jumbos. The group had already ordered four freighters of this type for Air France. The three A350 passenger jets are also destined for the French airline. Air France is reportedly expecting a total of 41 jets from the series.
