The Air France-KLM Group revealed itself yesterday as the customer that placed a previous order for nine Boeing 777-300ERs and seven 737-700s. Air France will add the 777s to its existing fleet of 46 of the type, while KLM replaces older 737s and expands its European short-haul operations. KLM plans to align the interior specification and operation of the -700s with its low-fare affiliate, Transavia.

The deal raises the total of Air France’s unfilled orders for 777-300ERs to 14. The airline holds options on another seven. The 777s will replace Air France’s aging Boeing 747-400s.
