Travelling by air connects people, businesses and cultures around the globe. Yet as an airline, we also realise that our industry today is far from sustainable. Therefore, we have been – and are – working hard to improve every part of our company, our societal role and environmental impact.
Our pathway to sustainable aviation consists of several measures, and each one contributes to reducing our CO2 emissions step by step. These include fleet renewal, operational improvements and carbon offsets, but the far biggest contribution will be made by replacing fossil-based jet fuel with Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).
KLM is committed to leading the industry in growing the global SAF market. Today, we already have a substantial share in the worldwide SAF market. Nevertheless, it is still less than 1% of our total fuel usage. To reach our climate ambitions, we aim to use 10% SAF by 2030. To accelerate this transition, we are proud to announce two important new initiatives.
As of today, all our tickets with a departure from, or with a transfer in, Amsterdam become a bit more sustainable. And for those of you who want to do more, we enable you to decide exactly how sustainably you want to travel.
