The B787 was predicted to take 31% of the market share, followed by the A350 with 27% and the B777 with 21%, then the A330 and A380 each taking 7%. [15] In June 2017, there were 1,038 orders for Airbus (41%) and 1,514 for Boeing (59%).

The then-proposed, 407–passenger 777-9X stretched the 777-300ER by four frames to 250 ft 11 in (76.48 m) in length, for a 759,000 lb (344 t) maximum ...

It was also used for service to London and New York City, but was later replaced by the A350-900. They are sometimes deployed in Asian and Australian routes as well if the demand needs it. [42] In 2009, the airline leased two Boeing 777-300ER to replace the former flagship Boeing 747-400 from GECAS. [43]
It is confirmed through manufacturer order records that the split will consist of 39 A350-900s and 11 A350-1000s. [9] Preliminary delivery data suggests that KLM will take up all of the group's ordered -1000 variant aircraft and at least 11 of the -900 variant, leaving at most 28 -900 variant aircraft for Air France.
