Boeing 787-9

The Boeing 787-9 “Dreamliners” got their nickname from a worldwide competition Boeing held in 2003. In 2015, we introduced this aircraft type to the KLM fleet. Long flights are no problem for the Dreamliner, as it is very fuel efficient. Since this aircraft can fly up to 8,500 nautical miles, it can even cover our longest routes – like flying from New York City to Bangkok.

You might encounter this 787-9 when flying to Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Bogota, Cartagena, or Salt Lake City, although these destinations may differ per season. "A technical marvel” as we call the 787-9, because it’s a result of hundreds of engineers from around the world working together. This lightweight aircraft can easily be recycled, because it consists of 50% composite, 20% aluminium, 15% titanium, 10% steel, and 5% other materials, generating less waste and chemicals than a similar aircraft.
