KLM readies first A350‑900 for Amsterdam‑Toronto service in October 2026

KLM’s first Airbus A350‑900, registration PH‑ZNA, completed its maiden flight from Toulouse on 4 September 2026 and is slated to begin commercial service between Amsterdam and Toronto on 30 October 2026.

The airline is preparing to operate a fleet of 22 A350‑900s, following the 2023 order of 50 A350‑900 and A350‑1000 aircraft and the acquisition of 40 additional purchase rights, after earlier fleet swaps in 2019 that moved A350s to Air France and Boeing 787s to KLM.
