Online access to a CO2calculator for a carbon-
neutral flight
In order to enable customers – whether businesses or
individual passengers – to evaluate the amount of CO2
emissions generated by their trips, Air France and KLM
have made a CO2calculator available on the
www.airfrance.com and www.klm.com websites. Based
on actual operating data recorded on each flight and
route, it includes the distance flown, the type of aircraft
operated, the actual fuel consumed during the journey,
the number of passengers carried and the weight of
baggage and goods carried on board. This online service
also enables passengers wishing to do so to offset the
CO2emissions generated by their flights with the Group
through an NGO-led initiative.
An improvement in flight fuel efficiency
In addition to fleet renewal, energy efficiency is being
improved through the optimization of operational
procedures, such as reducing taxiing and waiting time on
the ground, optimizing flight paths, adjusting the quantity of
fuel loaded and, finally, reducing the weight of aircraft.
Significant savings have been achieved by the two airlines
thanks to lighter trolleys or glasses or in reducing the
amount of paper on board.
Publication of the
Corporate Social
Responsibility Report
Since 2005, Air France-
KLM has published an
annual Corporate Social
Responsibility Report,
covering all the activities
as well as the Group’s
commitments in this area.
It can be consulted at the
www.airfranceklm-
finance.com website.
