The transformation of the Air France-KLM Group following the global Covid-19 crisis involves accelerating its environmental goals for its own future and for the future of the entire industry. "I would like to thank all 83,000 employees of the Air France-KLM Group,” said Benjamin Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Air France-KLM.
“Through their environmental and societal stewardship, we were able to achieve our 2019 environmental goals. The Covid-19 crisis is a catalyst for celerating the transformation of civil aviation, and it presents an opportunity to further strengthen our long-standing commitment to transition to a more sustainable future as we seek to find an ecological and economic balance. Our priority is to regain our competitiveness in a deeply changed world, but also reaffirm our leadership in the sustainable transition of our sector.”
