KLM deploys Airbus A350 without Business Class on scheduled flight for the first time
Published
The Dutch airline KLM has deployed an Airbus A350 on a regular scheduled flight for the first time without Business Class. This is reported by the portal aeroTELEGRAPH. Normally, Business Class is among the standard offerings on long-haul flights with this aircraft type.
The Airbus A350 is a large long-haul aircraft. Airlines can determine the seating arrangement in the cabin themselves. For passengers, this means that when booking, they may find seating classes different from those they are used to on previous flights. The report currently provides no detailed information about the exact reasons for this decision or about the route of the flight.
For travellers from Austria, the news is of particular interest if they fly with KLM or travel via Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. KLM connects Vienna with Amsterdam, so Austrian passengers may also be affected by changes in the flight offering. Anyone planning a trip should therefore check the seating class and the aircraft's configuration before booking.
The introduction of the A350 without Business Class is an unusual step, because the premium cabin is an important part of the business for many airlines. Whether this concept proves successful and whether other airlines introduce similar models will become clear in the coming months.
