KLM will take delivery of its first A321neo later this year, and the airline has provided an update on the aircraft's livery and interiors.
The line separating the airline's blue and white planes drops lower than on current planes, resulting in an all-blue canopy, and a black outline has been added to the cabin windows, which KLM says , makes them look like sunglasses.
Inside the plane there will be new seats with larger trays, tablet holders and USB ports, and the cabins will also feature multi-colour ambient lighting and larger overhead luggage compartments.
Delivery of the airline's first A321neo is scheduled for August, with initial destinations including Copenhagen, Berlin and Stockholm.
KLM announced an order for a total of 100 A320 and A321neos in 2021, and the aircraft will be used to renew its main fleet, as well as that of its subsidiaries Transavia Netherlands and Transavia France.

Commenting on the news, KLM CEO Marjan Rintel said:
“The arrival of the A321neo marks a significant upgrade for our European fleet. “It is 50 percent quieter and generates 15 percent fewer carbon emissions than the aircraft it replaces, making it an important step towards cleaner, quieter and more fuel-efficient aviation.” .
