In a significant move towards greener aviation, TotalEnergies and Air France-KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have forged a groundbreaking agreement that will see TotalEnergies supply up to 1.5 million tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over the next decade. This partnership marks one of the largest SAF purchase agreements ever signed by Air France-KLM, reinforcing the airline's commitment to sustainability in the aviation sector.

Air France-KLM has consistently led the charge in utilizing more sustainable aviation fuels, achieving the status of the world's top user in both 2022 and 2023. The airline accounted for an impressive 17% and 16% of global SAF production, respectively. This commitment not only highlights the airline's proactive stance on environmental responsibility but also sets a benchmark for the industry.

Looking to the future, Air France-KLM has set ambitious sustainability goals. By 2030, the airline aims to reduce its CO2 emissions per passenger kilometer by 30% compared to 2019 levels. This target will be achieved through a combination of fleet renewal, innovative operational measures such as eco-piloting, and the integration of at least 10% sustainable aviation fuel in all flights. These initiatives not only exceed regulatory requirements but also showcase the airline's dedication to pioneering sustainable practices in aviation.

As the global aviation industry grapples with the urgent need to reduce its carbon footprint, agreements like the one between TotalEnergies and Air France-KLM signal a promising step toward a more sustainable future. Together, they are paving the way for an era where flying can be both accessible and environmentally responsible.
