Reducing emissions from business travel

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 flying cannot be eliminated.

What Air France and KLM are doing

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

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
• 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
