Taking Delivery of our First Airbus A350 | Cockpit Tales | KLM

The future just got real. 💙✈️ There are moments when the future stops being a plan on paper and becomes something you can actually see, hear and feel. Our first Airbus A350, De Nachtwacht, is one of those moments. Behind its arrival is a world of engineering, teamwork and ambition. And ahead lies a new chapter in our journey toward more efficient aviation, with lower fuel consumption and a smaller noise footprint. But ask the people who brought this aircraft home, and the story goes beyond technology. It’s the anticipation. The details. The teamwork. That moment when it all comes together. We captured 20 minutes of it all, behind the scenes and along for the ride. This is what progress looks like. And this is what it feels like. 🎬💙 #KLM #AirbusA350 #FleetRenewal #BehindTheScenes Get in touch with us: https://www.klm.com   / klm     / klm     / klm   This is KLM's official YouTube channel where we share an insight into our world.
