KLM has announced the completion of its premium economy cabin installation across its Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliner fleets. This marks a significant development for the Dutch airline, which initiated the project two and a half years ago.
The introduction of premium economy, branded as Premium Comfort, began in May 2022. The move aligns KLM with other major airlines offering an intermediate class between economy and business. Initially, retrofits were carried out on the younger Dreamliner aircraft before progressing to the Boeing 777s. Enhancements included upgrading World Business pods with privacy panels and aisle access.
A total of 54 wide-body aircraft have been updated with these new features, providing passengers traveling to or from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) more options. Barry ter Voert, KLM's chief experience officer, remarked on the efforts involved: "Over the past two years, colleagues have worked very hard to make the addition of this new class possible."
