KLM Said “GOODBYE” To B737 And Turned To A321Neo! Here's Why

KLM’s switch to the A321Neo is a smart move given the issues with the older B737 fleet.

[@FLIGAVIA]

[@OfficialDoggyYT]

any old aircraft will have issues such as old airframe etc, the reason the A320 has less crashes is because the 737 came out in late 60's, a year where commercial jet aviation was new. compared to the A320 1984 which came in a time where aviation was more advanced.

[@miks564]

@@OfficialDoggyYT Not really. A320 are much safer planes because they’re modern redundant fly by wire machines with many software protections since the first day they were introduced back in the late 80s. A Max is still the old cables and pulleys concept. It’s the oldest tech aircraft Boeing still produces, it doesn’t even feature a EICAS, something even 757 and 767 already have. Except for the Max (because MCAS), 737s are good reliable planes, but they’re like a good vehicle from the 70s restored with more modern and efficient engines.

[@OfficialDoggyYT]

@@miks564 exactly what I said, the A320 came out in a time where commercial jet aviation was somewhat new, the technological advanced etc, you just proved my point. If it was the other way around you can bet the A320 would have more crashes

Not to forget that the Airbus planes (except the 220 which probably will be overhaled soon) can be flown with minimal training on each type. That is waht Boing tried to do with the MCA sor their 737 and the new Max planes. They failed to do it successfully because tey were to cheap and did not do it properly. People died due to this. I would not fly a Boeing for the foreseeable future-except the 747. That is so old, it has matured enough to work.

Come on, right now you gotta be really confident to fly new Boeing planes given all that has spilled out of their backyard. I certainly avoid the MAX and will keep doing that for many years. The fact that the producer basically lied to the operators and the authorities is brutal and reduces to zero the confidence. The NEO has simply bigger+more efficient engines, and for a few generations this has been enough to compel operators to new planes, since fuel is their biggest spending. The NEO with its fuel efficiency is like a Small Dreamliner or A350, very suitable to long point to point routes.

It's also fair to add that Boeing has been forced into slowing down it's operations by the FAA who unsurprisingly wants to keep a closer eye on how the American company goes about their business and so Boeing aren't able to fulfill their orders as quickly. The knock-on effect of this is that some airlines will look elsewhere. KLM has already bought several Embraer airliners and are currently replacing their 737s with a321neo as you have touched on. They have also ordered several a350 to replace their Dreamliners but delivery isn't until 2026 for these long-haul airliners.

Boeing is a classic example of what happens to a company when the bean counters assume the power, in this case, instead of design and engineering calling the shots.

[9:49] 'The worlds leading aircraft manufacturer'. This would be Boeing, right? Is this still the case? What is 'leading'? The company that sets the pace for the market? That would likely be Airbus with them bringing to market the most new or improved types in the last decade. Or does leading refer to the technological advancement? In that case Boeing is also behind, with Airbus using more efficient designs and high cockpit similarity between wildly diverse types. I guess the American dream of Boeing being a leader in a relative commodity market of passenger aircraft has come down like a lead zeppelin in the last decade. They seem unable to bring new designs to market, cut corners on production and engineering quality. That is not the attitude an industry leader is required to have.
