Air France and KLM expanded their capacity after their fusion in 2004

The Air France-KLM airline company was established on May 2004 as a result from the fusion of the French Air France and the Dutch KLM. Although the two airlines still fly under their original names they’re both subsidiaries of the same parent company. This fusion represented for both companies an increase of their airplane fleet as well as an increase of their flight destinations. As of December 2023, the Air France-KLM had disposal of 258 airplanes from the Air France Group and 176 airplanes from the KLM Group. Most of them were medium-haul airplanes: 262 medium-haul aircraft in total.
