Fleet renewal is positive for the environment
Improved fuel efficiency and a significant reduction in
noise and gas emissions were key considerations when
the program to renew the fleet was established.
The Group has also announced that it would like to
participate, in cooperation with the European and US air
navigation authorities and services, in the evaluation of
green routes between its principal Paris-Charles de Gaulle
and Amsterdam-Schiphol bases and the destinations it
serves in North America. This would notably involve
guaranteeing optimum flight paths in order to minimize,
with due regard to safety considerations, the CO2
emissions on its transatlantic flights.
The Group also plans to promote the use of renewable
energies such as solar or wind energy. Finally, Air France-
KLM supports NGOs which are conducting environmental
protection programs in fields such as combating
deforestation.
