Air France-KLM has a multi-billion dollar deal with Toulouse for up to 160 aircraft.
100 A320neo Family aircraft for Transavia.
There is a firm order for 100 A320neo Family aircraft plus 60 options. The first deliveries are expected in the second half of the century.
The aircraft will operate medium-haul routes in Europe from Amsterdam-Schiphol and Paris-Orly.
The cabin configuration will be announced later.
Air France has four A350 Freighters.
Four A350 Freighters plus four options were signed by Air France-KLM. The A350F Full Freighter would be launched by Air France-KLM.
This order would allow for the substitution of the A350 passenger aircraft in Air France's long-haul fleet. The airline has 38 aircraft of the type on order.
Benjamin Smith, CEO of the Air France-KLM Group, said: "These evolutionary orders will position our Group airlines on the path to improved performance and accelerate our decarbonization trajectory." The best aircraft available for their network needs will be operated by Air France, Transavia and KLM. The A320neo family and the A350F Full-Freighter are the best choices for the long-term growth of our fleet because of their outstanding performances. They will help us reach our ambitious targets, including zero net CO2 emissions by the year 2050.

The key is A321neo.
It is no surprise that the A320neo, A321neo and A220 are the most popular narrowbody airplanes. All European major carriers are using the A320neo family, with the exception of RyanAir.
The key to winning a narrowbody order is having the flexibility to convert to the larger A321neo product which Boeing does not offer. The B737 was re-engined with the help of American Airlines and Southwest Airlines.
Flexibility for airlines to deploy them on short-haul route as needed is what the A321LR and A321XLR will allow.
