Peter Hartman, KLM chief operations officer, right, and Alan Mulally, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, sign a contract for the purchase of KLM's new Boeing 777-200ER passenger jetliners and 747-400ER freighters. Hartman and Jan Witsenboer, KLM chief purchasing officer, participated in a ceremonial contract signing when they visited Boeing Commercial Airplanes headquarters in Seattle, Washington last week. Both KLM executives participated in a Boeing 777 test-flight program and met with a group of Boeing employees who will design and build KLM's newly ordered airplanes.
