Air France cuts CO2 emissions on flights by 50%

Air France has launched “Air France ACT”, a programme presenting its new decarbonisation trajectory aiming for 30% less CO2 emissions per passenger-km by 2030 compared to 2019, i.e. 12% less total emissions.

In order to illustrate the ways in which this objective can be achieved, the company recently carried out a series of actions on two of its flights leaving from Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

This project, the airline said, is part of the “Skyteam Sustainable Flight Challenge”, an initiative aimed at stimulating and encouraging innovation by inviting the alliance’s member airlines to operate the most eco-responsible flights possible from 1 to 14 May 2022.
