We are constantly investing in new aircraft. A modern fleet allows us to offer our customers greater comfort and significantly reduce our noise footprint to improve life for locals residing near airports. In addition, upgrading our fleet with cleaner and more fuel-efficient aircraft is the primary focus of the Group's decarbonisation strategy, which aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
As at 31 December 2021, our fleet comprises 536 aircraft, including 505 in operation.
As at 31 December 2021, 408 aircraft in operation.
Our fleet consists of:
- 160 long-haul aircraft,
- 6 cargo aircraft,
- and 242 medium-haul aircraft, including 89 aircraft in the Transavia fleet.
As at 31 December 2021, 97 aircraft in operation.
12.2 years as at 31 December 2021, corresponding to 12.2 years for the long-haul fleet, 13.4 years for the medium-haul fleet, 18.8 years for the cargo fleet, and 8.9 years for the regional fleet.
As at 31 December 2021, 37.8% of our fleet is directly owned, 12.3% is leased and 49.9% is under operating leases.
Having signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus in December 2021, confirming orders for one hundred A320/A321 aircraft, with the final purchase contract due to be signed in 2022, the Group has thus secured delivery of these new-generation aircraft for KLM, Transavia France, and Transavia Netherlands.
Development and ambitions
In 2021, Air France completed the following operations:
- for long-haul : the withdrawal of its fleet of four 777-200, one A340-300, and one A380, and the delivery of seven new A350-900 aircraft
- for medium-haul : the withdrawal of eight A320-type aircraft, and the delivery of the first six new A220-300 aircraft
- at HOP! : the permanent operational withdrawal of all of its CRJ700 aircraft and three CRJ1000 aircraft, and the delivery of one EMB190
Despite the health crisis, Air France and KLM have not cancelled any of their orders or options, and have only made minor adjustments to the A350 delivery schedule to meet production requirements. Air France's substantial order book (25 x A350 and 54 x A220), comprising the most environmentally efficient, new-generation aircraft, in particular, will enable the Group to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and honour its commitment to protect the environment.
KLM has added two more B777-300ER to its fleet and withdrawn two A330-200, two 747-400, and six B737-700 aircraft, while KLM Cityhopper removed one E190 from its fleet and received its first seven E195-E2 aircraft.
The Group will continue to modernise its fleet over the longer term, through the expansion of the B787 and E195-E2 fleet at KLM and the A350-900 and A220-300 fleet at Air France.
The Group will continue to invest heavily in cabin renovation, as with the current revamp of its B777-300ER, and the on-board satellite internet service, providing Wi-Fi to its passengers on both long-haul and medium-haul flights.
