"Boeing has worked hard to fix these problems". Utter nonsense. The ultimate source of Boeings problems is a poor culture and a lack of understanding of the costs of poor quality. Nothing Boeing has done recently shows any appriciation of the underlying source of its problems, which still remain unaddressed.

You have no idea what you are talking about name one person from MD in Boeing management. The merger was 27 years ago. And if the merger was so MD influenced why were MD airplanes killed off in favor of Boeing. The 787 is not a A350 competition it’s a A330 sized aircraft. The 787 is a 767 replacement.

It’s not a sad story… Boeing earned it themselves by cutting cost and putting money in front of safety. The are digging themselves in their own hole. Real story from a 737-800 pilot: The 737 was an amazing aircraft in the 60s, but Boeing turned it into a beast by always increasing fuselage length and putting larger engines that don’t even fit under the wings. On the 900 variant, if you rotate with a speed of more than 2*/sec, you are having a tails strike…

Dumb is as dumb does, period.

Boeing's quality contirol leaves much to be desire.

The 787 absolutely is not going anywhere, nor is KL saying goodbye to it. The 787 competes with the A330/neo, not the A350. KL has 772 and 773 in their fleets, and those will need to be replaced eventually. And that's where the A350 comes in. The A359 competes with the 772/778 and the A3510 competes with the 773/779. With the 778/779 so incredibly delayed (and who knows if there may be more), and because of all the other advantages highlighted in the video regarding the A350 series, it makes sense to go with the A350. The 787-10 is at best a 772 replacement, and as said in the video, its range is very lacking. Boeing needs to get an -ER version to compete, although with all the problems at the company at the moment designing an ER variant is not exactly priority. They need to go back to making safe planes, period. I wouldn't be surprised if KL makes a top up order for the 787, particularly the -9. I also wouldn't be surprised if they get more A350s, both the -900 and -1000. But anyway, the 787 will continue to be a mainstay and workhorse in the KL fleet.

This is huge! KLM has always been a Boeing customer.

KLM is a wonderful airliner, good and intelligent staff at all levels. You'll notice it if you fly with them.

That is not right. The A350 replaces the 772 and the A330 versions.

Their is an interesting fact that no one mentions and no one seems to get, especially Americans. Holland and Canada are unofficially and officially very close, as close as nation states can be. This comes from the liberation of Holland by Canadian Soldiers in WW2 and the Dutch Royal Family living in Ottawa during World War 2. Queen Beatrix attended Primary School in Canada and her sister Princes Margaret was born in Ottawa in 1943. While the Dutch Government may have refrained from comment no doubt they noticed when Boeing attempted to kill the Bombardier C Series and drive Bombardier into bankruptcy . It was Airbus, not Boeing, that eventually supported the C Series now called the Airbus A-220 100 & 300. People in both America and Europe should note that schoolchildren in Holland still look after the graves of Canadian Soldiers and large immigration to Canada from Holland followed World War 2. A whole lot of factors likely influence the decision for KLM to prefer a European builder. Boeing's inferior aircraft construction and quality control are but one factor to be considered. At this time Boeing is simply throwing together aircraft in an effort to reduce costs. Now the world knows this!

Clickbait title implies KLM is disposing of their 787s which is not correct. The 787-10 was never designed to have equivalent range to the 787-9 or A350. It's primarly intended for shorter routes which need higher capacity.

As a Dutch citizen and passenger, I’m very happy with the KLM switch to Airbus. I’ve flown quite a bit around the world with both brands and I find Airbus simply to be the better and more comfortable plane to travel in. So job well done for our KLM.

KLM made a good decision. In the last four years things have changed: that is, maybe passengers are safer flying in a A350. And it is made nearby as well.

Boeing is an amazing company with a remarkable legacy, it's really unfortunate so see the current situation they are in. I believe that everybody would benefit from a healthy Boeing able to keep pushing the envelope to make flying more sustainable while maintaining a top notch safety track record. This being said, the current commercial success of Airbus is well deserved.

If It’s Boeing,I’m not going. Good decision of KLM !

Boeing certainly have their problems but you are not assessing risk in a cogent manner. Take Southwest Airlines for example. They have approx. 4,000 flights PER DAY on an all Boeing fleet. They have never had a hull loss in 52 years. Similarly, Ryanair operates approx. 1,800 flights PER DAY on an all Boeing fleet and have also had zero hull losses. If you are that risk averse, you probably shouldn't leave your house.

Boeing needs to replace the bankers and bean counters on its board of directors with actual aeronautical engineers. Back the way it started and built itself and its reputation. It’s not too late.

KLM = Air France = Airbus. The new Airbusses are a combined order for both airlines. It’s simply math.

But the lower cabin altitude might still make a difference on a very long flight, at least compared to another "sardine can" configuration on a different model.

remember when the saying went "if it is not Boeing I am not going", now its all the way around, I came back from south America in a 737 max 8, I was nervous.

So KLM was founded in 1919. Apparently that’s really important because they repeatedly mentioned it. I’m not sure why because Airbus weren’t around then.

Although it is not being discussed, Boeing made a major blunder moving much of its assembly to Charleston, SC. They failed to understand the cultural issues of the region and went for the lowest labor cost. In general manufacturing in the U.S. is moving to the Southeast because the lower living costs and the lack of unions make labor costs less. That's one reason for Boeing's move away from Seattle. -But the South is not culturally uniform. Over a century and a half after emancipation, the effects of slavery still linger. In some regions slavery destroyed the work ethic for both whites and blacks. Working hard was what slaves did. That's primarily in a region where flat land and a fertile black soil called the Black Belt meant cotton grew well. -Other regions of the South, primarily those with hilly land and poor soil were populated with small independent farmers who had to work hard to survive. There the work ethic was strong along with a Scot-Irish independence. If you treated someone well, they treated you well. If you treated them badly, they responded accordingly. -Boeing's blunder was all too obvious to those who know the South. It went to Charleston, SC because labor costs there were low. It failed to realize that those costs were low because the poor work ethic made locating their unappealing to savvy companies. Charleston lies in the heart of the Black Belt and was major center for selling slaves. -Boeing could have located those new plants in Huntsville, AL where it owned over 400 acres next to the airport. The area is so technical astute it built the huge Saturn V that put NASA on the moon. But the presence of a well-education population with a solid work ethic meant labor costs would be much higher. That Boeing management hated. As we have seen in other areas, maximizing profits mattered above all else. -Boeing chose to go cheap and is now paying a price for that blunder. It is struggling to instill a work ethnic in a population that, white and black, has lacked one for two centuries and more. In endures because those who want to work hard and get ahead get frustrated with such a culture and move elsewhere. _You can read more about this in the Wikipedia article "Black Belt in the American South."_

Keep in mind that, while Boeing recommends various interior arrangements, the airline determines that. "Uncomfortable and noisy" is what an airline may pick to cram more people in and save money. That's why some people love flying in a 787 and some hate it. Blame the airline not Boeing.

1. Both South America and South Africa are within the range of the 787-10. Maybe not Amsterdam-Santiago nonstop, but that's currently flown with a stop in Buenos Aires (on a 787-9) anyway. The Far East with the current detours over South Asia or Alaska is a good reason to skip the 787-10, yes, but not South America and South Africa. 2. Both KLM and Air France ALREADY have large fleets of 787s (in the case of KLM, including the 787-10), not to mention even larger fleets of older 777s. What will happen to those planes in the mid- to long-term? Will they be passed on or retained along the new A350s? Plus, even the smaller A350-900 is significantly larger than the 787-9 and caters to a different market. These are questions that the video didn't approach and should have.

The 787-9 has all the range any airline needs as Qantas has shown. Last time I checked Capetown & Johannesburg are 11 hours from northern Europe well within the range of a 787-10. Buenos Aires and Santiago do require a 14 hour plane though. KLM purchased the A350 because it seems AF & KLM now have common fleets strategies, KLM is also getting A321neos.
