As from today both Air France and KLM will add Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to all tickets with a departure from France and the Netherlands. This means that all passengers will have a more sustainable journey and the usage of SAF will increase drastically with the end goal to reduce CO2 emissions. <\/strong><\/p>\n Air France and KLM are convinced that the use of\u00a0sustainable aviation fuel\u00a0(SAF) will be one of the\u00a0main drivers to reach the net zero ambition by 2050,\u00a0as these non-fossil fuels can reduce the aviation CO2 footprint by up to 75 % over their entire life cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cToday, SAF production worldwide covers only around 0,1 % of the total fuel usage of the aviation\u00a0industry. We need to increase this usage and that is why\u00a0we are now gradually incorporating SAF in all our flights departing from France and the Netherlands\u00a0as from January 2022. Since the majority of Air France and KLM passengers have a stopover or a transfer in France or the Netherlands, we are happy to offer our customers a more sustainable product. Compared to the previous year\u00a0the group will more than double the total use of sustainable aviation fuel\u00a0in\u00a02022\u201d<\/em> says Eric Anconetti, General Manager Air France and KLM CIS.<\/strong><\/p>\n As from today Air France and KLM include SAF in the price of their tickets \u2013 a fully transparent contribution dedicated to purchasing SAF \u2013 to further speed up the road towards a more sustainable aviation. This contribution will be applied to all flights\u00a0departing\u00a0from, or with transit in, France and the Netherlands and it ranges from 1\u20ac per flight within Europe to up to 4\u20ac for intercontinental flights in Economy class.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the same time as we are adding SAF to all our tickets, we will also offer our customers buying their tickets online the option to further reduce their CO2 emissions by investing in additional Sustainable Aviation Fuel.\u00a0\u00a0This means that each and every customer can decide how sustainably they want to fly. We know that there is a big demand for a more sustainable aviation and we are convinced that our customers will appreciate the option to add as much SAF as they would like\u201d,<\/em> says Eric Anconetti, General Manager Air France and KLM CIS.<\/strong><\/p>\n About Air France-KLM <\/strong><\/p>\n A global player with a strong European base, the Air France-KLM Group\u2019s main areas of business are passenger transport, cargo transport and aeronautical maintenance.<\/p>\n Air France-KLM is a leading airline Group in terms of international traffic on departure from Europe.
