Supporting humanitarian and
development projects
Both Air France and KLM are aware of the
crucial role they can play as airlines and have
long been involved in humanitarian and
development initiatives. Their many
contributions range from cash donations and
free transportation through to skills sponsorship
and awareness campaigns. Air France provides
air logistics support to more than 150 bodies,
which are mostly involved in emergency health
care: free transportation of passengers, medical
equipment and first aid teams.
With the AirCares program, KLM chooses,
every year, to support four NGOs working
towards the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals.
KLM initiatives in Kenya
The Group operates around 40% of the
flights at the Nairobi hub in Kenya and the
cooperation with Kenya Airways has
resulted in the creation of jobs within the
region. Amongst the development projects
supported by KLM in Kenya, AirCares funds
the Lorna Kiplagat foundation, Wings of
Support has a dozen projects in the country
while Doctor2Doctor collaborates on training
with the Eldoret hospital. KLM employees
also contribute to initiatives within the
framework of Volunteer Plaza and the launch
of a campaign to combat the AIDS virus in
Kenya. In addition, KLM supports the
Kiunga Marine National Reserve project
within the framework of KLM’s Destination
Nature, a program aimed at supporting
projects to promote sustainable
development, the preservation of nature and
biodiversity in the countries served.
