Environment
AIR FRANCE KLM has taken a series of important measures for the environment and has a clear and ambitious climate policy: The Group’s major goal in the coming years will be to address the increase in demand for mobility while keeping the rate of increase in emissions below that of air traffic.

For several years, AIR FRANCE KLM has been working for sustainable development as a part of its overall strategy. Our ambition is to set the CSR standard within the airline industry and to keep our leading position, which is confirmed by the Group’s ranking in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes. For the third consecutive year, AIR FRANCE KLM is recognized as the
Nr 1 sustainable airline.

One of the most efficient ways of reducing the CO2 emissions is to have a young fleet. And this is by far the major investment Air France has done these past years. Through a constant modernisation of the fleet, the average age is 8,8 years (7,3 years on long-haul).

Air France was among the first airlines to give passengers information about the CO2 emissions produced by their flights and the possibility to compensate their journeys through our cooperation with GoodPlanet.
