By linking people, economies and cultures, aviation is a powerful vehicle for travel and for sharing. It is also a tremendous driving force for change in the regions we are based in and fy to. To continue to fulfll our mission and to serve our customers better, we are taking action to reconcile economic performance with respect for the environment. It is estimated that aviation is responsible for 2 to 3 percent of all CO2 produced by human beings. However, given predictions for growth, this proportion is likely to grow over the next 20 years. In view of this important fact, AIR FRANCE KLM is aiming to reduce its CO2 emissions by 2020 by 20 percent compared with 2011 (per passenger/kilometer). To achievethis, we have drawnup a climate action plan for the next several years with the aim of mobilizing our partners, the entire industry and our customers around ambitious environmental initiatives. Despite all our efforts, and since no major technological breakthrough is anticipated before the end of the century, we are convinced that the use of sustainable aviation biofuels will formpart of the solution.

Our aim is to help boost production of sustainable aviation biofuels in France and Europe, while respecting stringent environmental, social and economic criteria. As a result, in September 2014, Air France, with the support of 14 partners, launched the Lab’line for the future : a weekly fight between Toulouse and Paris-Orly using biofuel, which reduces CO2 emissions byup to 80 percent compared with classic fuel.

Made available to scientists throughout the world, the data will be particularly useful for the study of the carbon cycle and the verifcation of CO2 emissions. Air France is working to create the transportation of the future, transportation that we see as considerate, innovative and responsible. This is an exciting challenge, and one that all of us can tackle.
