Fly more sustainably with KLM

Sustainable Aviation Fuels: a promising solution
Fly more sustainably with KLM
Dear Tai,

Traveling by air connects people, businesses and cultures around the globe. Yet as an airline, we also realize 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 some important new initiatives. Thereby, we enable you to decide exactly how sustainably you want to travel.

SAF Included
January 2022, we will include a small amount of sustainable aviation fuel as a standard for our tickets sold in Europe. This initiative contributes to the necessary transition
CO2ZERO
We have also expanded our CO2ZERO offer to include several SAF-based options in addition to a reforestation contribution. KLM customers will now be able to contribute to either or both reforestation and additional SAF options. This enables you to decide how sustainably you want to travel.
Flying Blue
To support our members in reducing their environmental footprint, Flying Blue will introduce the ability to use Miles for the CO2ZERO programme in 2022. Furthermore, members will be able to gain Experience Points (XP) by contributing to the CO2ZERO programme.
With these initiatives, KLM wants to make flying more sustainable, in a fully transparent way. KLM does not profit financially from these new initiatives. 100% of SAF revenue received through ticket sales and the expanded CO2ZERO programme will be directly, transparently and exclusively used to purchase new SAF and promote SAF production worldwide.
