Sustainability: Moving business travel forward

Business travel plays an important role in connecting companies and people, while it also significantly contributes to CO₂ emissions. For many organizations, aviation remains a complex area of their environmental footprint to address, especially when they cannot eliminate flying.


What Air France and KLM are doing

The transition to lower-emission aviation is already underway, but it will take time.

Because alternatives to fossil fuels are not yet available at scale, progress depends on several complementary solutions working together:

  • Fleet renewal: introducing newer aircraft that use less fuel and emit less CO₂ per passenger
  • Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): an alternative to fossil fuel that can significantly reduce lifecycle emissions, but is currently limited in supply
  • Intermodality: combining air and rail for certain routes to reduce reliance on short-haul flights
  • Operational measures: improving flight and ground operations to reduce fuel consumption across the network


How your company can contribute

The Air France-KLM Corporate SAF Program gives companies a concrete way to reduce CO₂ emissions of their flights. Additionally, every contribution helps scale SAF production and is backed by certified documentation for sustainability reporting and Scope 3 emissions disclosures.
