Given that it is just a rumour (and a very unrealistic one if you ask me), it better be posted in this topic: http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=55049nemaco wrote:INFORMED BY AN EMPLOYEE OF KLM FLEET DEVELOPMENT: KLM is now very, very serious in achieving 747-8's intercontinental (pax version). The 747-8 is a possibilty for KLM because Boeing is offering a 747-8 combi version now. In the past Boeing only offered a full pax version and the combi version was no possibility at that moment. During the negociations between Boeing and KLM last weeks, Boeing also offered KLM the 787. The problem was that Boeing cannot deliver the 787 at the moment KLM will need the new aircraft.
Delivery dates and amounts of the 747-8's which (probably) will be delivered are unknown at this moment.

ISn't it possible to fly a little longer with the combi's?

Does anyone have more information?Apparently Skyliner is reporting some significant imminent fleet activity at Aer Lingus:
- 7 Embraer 195s to be acquired.
- 4 older 320s to leave before the new A320s arrive next year; going to Amsterdam Airlines.
- 1 A330 to leave the fleet without replacement.
There is always a possibility, given a history perspective to KLM vs Boeing that will be even bigger.jfaltena wrote:Without having to dig through 74 pages; is there any known info on the possibility that KLM might go to the 787 Dreamliner as a possible replacement for the MD11?
