Air France-KLM<\/strong> has begun negotiations with Boeing and Airbus on what could be the group\u2019s biggest-ever aircraft order as it seeks to expand low-cost operations and renew part of its main Dutch fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order for 160 single-aisle planes would be destined for the Transavia and European operations at KLM, a spokesman said Monday. The brands currently operate only Boeing jets on short- and mid-range routes, Bloomberg<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contest will pit Boeing\u2019s resurgent 737 Max against Airbus\u2019s A320neo-series narrow-bodies. The fleet at Transavia, which has French and Dutch divisions, comprises mostly 737-800s, and the addition of aircraft from another manufacturer would go against the strategy of budget rivals like EasyJet Plc, which stick to a single type to keep down costs. KLM also operates 737s and has been standardizing around Boeing models for long-haul flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air France-KLM Chief Executive Officer Ben Smith has made the expansion of low-cost operations a key element of plans to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. He aims to as much as triple the number of Transavia jets based in France after the group lost market share there to low-cost competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
