  • Air France-KLM selected the GEnx-1B engine to equip the Boeing 787-9 fleet. The agreement includes a partnership with General Electric on the GEnx engine maintenance. The first B787 will be delivered to KLM in October 2015 and to Air France in January 2017. 

  • Air France-KLM also announced the acquisition of a US component support specialist, Barfield, enabling the group to complete its presence on the world's number one aircraft maintenance market.
