**Just before the end of 2024, KLM receives its fourth A321neo. This new Airbus, named Clouded Magpie (Porseleinvlinder), will be used for European flights.**

Within just four months, the [KLM fleet](https://rewards.flights/airlines/klm-royal-dutch-airlines "KLM fleet") has expanded from 0 to 4 A321neo aircraft. In [September](https://rewards.flights/blog/klm-receives-its-first-airbus-a321neo-ph-axa-and-these-are-the-destinations), we wrote about the first delivery of KLM's new Airbus. This rapid expansion highlights KLM's commitment to modernization and sustainability.

## A321neo - Clouded Magpie

With the arrival of PH-AXD, KLM's current Airbus A321neo fleet now includes:

1. [PH-AXA](https://rewards.flights/aircrafts/ph-axa-airbus-a321-neo "PH-AXA"), nicknamed Swallowtail (Koninginnepage).
2. [PH-AXB](https://rewards.flights/aircrafts/ph-axb-airbus-a321-252nx "PH-AXB"), nicknamed Peach Blossom (Braamvlinder).
3. [PH-AXC](https://rewards.flights/aircrafts/ph-axc-airbus-a321-252nx "PH-AXC"), nicknamed Common Brimstone (Citroenvlinder).
4. [PH-AXD](https://rewards.flights/aircrafts/ph-axd-airbus-a321-252nx "PH-AXD"), nicknamed Clouded Magpie (Porseleinvlinder).

The A321neo aircraft represent a significant addition to the KLM fleet. These planes offer greater passenger capacity and are designed to be more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly than their predecessors. This aligns with the broader strategy of airlines to reduce CO2 emissions and operate quieter flights.

### Clouded Magpie / Porseleinvlinder

You may have noticed that KLM gives each of its aircraft a unique name. With themes ranging from world cities and birds to flowers and castles, KLM assigns a recognizable name to each plane.

The theme for the A321 series is butterflies. Alongside the Swallowtail, Peach Blossom, and Common Brimstone, the fleet now welcomes the Clouded Magpie.

## Anticipating the Next Delivery

The fleet renewal won't stop in 2024; it will continue into 2025. In addition to the Neos, KLM will also be expanding its Boeing and Embraer fleets. Early 2025 is expected to bring the new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner ([PH-BKO](https://rewards.flights/aircrafts/ph-bko-boeing-787-10-dreamliner "PH-BKO")).

> We are delivering on our promises and continuing to invest in cleaner, quieter, and more efficient flying to keep connecting the Netherlands with the rest of the world.

> – Marjan Rintel, CEO KLM

### Transavia

Also, [Transavia](https://rewards.flights/airlines/transavia "Transavia"), part of the Air France-KLM Group, received its seventh Airbus A321neo this month, with registration code [PH-YHC](https://rewards.flights/aircrafts/ph-yhc-airbus-a321-252nx "PH-YHC"). Within a year of the first delivery, Transavia has already received seven of these aircraft, with the goal of eventually replacing all 737s.
