KLM's first B777-300ER delivered

KLM's first B777-300ER is being delivered today. The aircraft, registered PH-BVA and named "Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe" will arrive at Schiphol on Wednesday morning. Here is a picture of the new bird:

The aircraft will be put into commercial service on Thursday, February 14, operating KL427 to Dubai as its inaugural flight with KLM. In the ensuing days, she will be deployed on the following services:

14FEB KL427/428 AMS DXB AMS
15FEB KL427/428 AMS DXB AMS
16FEB KL427/428 AMS DXB AMS
17FEB KL791/792 AMS GRU AMS
18FEB KL427/428 AMS DXB AMS
19FEB KL427/428 AMS DXB AMS
20FEB KL427/428 AMS DXB AMS

The aircraft is currently configured in a 35J/393Y configuration, but, in a strong sign that this layout may be changed in the near future, PH-BVA will have 30 non-saleable seats in front of the Y cabin, where the IFE is not yet installed. It is highly likely that these 3 rows of Y will ultimately make space for 7 or 14 additional WBC seats.
