Case Study: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines achieves lower training costs and carbon footprint with Matterport

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Uses Matterport Digital Twins of its Aircraft for Flexible Online Training that Cuts Costs and its Carbon Footprint

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the world’s oldest airline, needed a way to improve training and aircraft familiarization without tying up its most expensive assets or forcing crews to travel for in-person sessions. To solve this, KLM worked with Matterport using Matterport Pro2 3D cameras to create digital twins of its airliners for ground crews, pilots, flight attendants, and even passengers.

Matterport made it possible for KLM to host multiple online versions of each aircraft, enabling flexible training, remote pre-flight walkarounds, and cabin previews. The results included nearly 900,000 views across 104 digital twins, a 30% faster familiarization and cleanup process for new aircraft, reduced travel-related costs and carbon footprint, and faster issue resolution during operations.
