Does KLM have 777?

In 2003, we added the 1st Boeing 777-200ER to our fleet. The -200ER is the world's biggest twin-jet, with the largest landing gear of all commercial aircraft types. You just might fly in one of these aircraft to Dubai, Quito, Guayaquil, or Osaka (destinations may differ per season).



Yes, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has a significant fleet of Boeing 777 aircraft, which serve as the backbone of its long-haul, intercontinental operations. As of 2026, KLM operates both the 777-200ER and the 777-300ER variants. The airline began integrating the "Triple Seven" into its fleet in 2003, and these aircraft are currently undergoing a major cabin refresh to include the new "Premium Comfort" class and updated World Business Class suites. A unique tradition at KLM is that all its Boeing 777s are named after specific themes: the 777-200ERs are named after World Heritage Sites (like "Machu Picchu" and "Hadrian's Wall"), while the larger 777-300ERs are named after National Parks (like "Yellowstone" and "Kaziranga"). The 777-300ER is particularly recognizable in the fleet due to its immense length and powerful GE90 engines, which the airline often highlights in its marketing. These planes are used to connect Amsterdam Schiphol to major global hubs in North America, South America, and Asia, providing a high-capacity, long-range solution that complements the airline's Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.
