Environmental expenditure and investment
Air France - KLM’s policy is for environmental management to be
an integral part of all its business operations, meaning that it is
difficult to identify the portion of expenditure for purely
environmental purposes.
The Group continuously invests in new aircraft and the installation
of new cabins, thereby offering passengers a higher standard of
comfort, achieving substantial fuel savings and respecting its
sustainable development commitments by reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and noise disturbance for residents around
airports.
Furthermore, the air transport industry is subject to numerous
environmental regulations. In the past few years, the national and
European authorities have adopted various regulations regarding,
in particular, noise pollution and gas emissions, introducing taxes
on air transport companies and obligations for them to ensure
the compliance of their operations.
