KLM has ordered six B787-10 Dreamliners to replace six of the 21 B787-9s it has on order with Boeing.
The Dutch carrier, which is scheduled to take delivery of its first B787-9 later this year, said it expects to receive the B787-10s by 2020.

Last month, the airline announced it will install its new World Business Class seats on its B787-9 (see news, July 27).
The seats will be fully-flat, have direct aisle access and feature 16-inch in-flight entertainment screens.
Business class will be configured 1-2-1 while economy will have a 3-3-3 configuration with seats that recline 40 per cent more than currently.
