Air France-KLM's GHG emissions intensity has been reported at approximately 0.851 kg CO2e per RTK for 2025 and 0.928 kg CO2e per RTK for 2024. These figures reflect the company's ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint. The targets set by Air France-KLM are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which confirms that the company's emissions reduction strategies are consistent with the goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C.
