Bæredygtig flyrejse fra San Francisco med KLM

KLM and Neste are taking another step forward in sustainable aviation fuel for flights from Schiphol

KLM has purchased sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for flights out of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The sustainable fuel is produced by Neste from used cooking oil and will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80 % compared to fossil kerosene. This purchase is the next step in the use of sustainable fuel as it is the first time the fuel will be supplied using the existing infrastructure at Schiphol. Furthermore, Neste is joining KLM’s Corporate BioFuel Programme. In doing so, Neste will reduce the CO2 emissions of its own business travel on KLM flights by 100%.

KLM is the first airline in the world to trial the recycling of different catering items within a closed-loop system.

The 18th of December 2019, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flew flight KL0681 from Amsterdam to Vancouver with catering supplies on board that have mostly been collected and recycled within a new, closed-loop system. The containers, lids and glasses were collected earlier this month off four Vancouver Amsterdam flights. They have now been cleaned and are after recycling being reused on this flight.

From drink to ink – KLM makes tools from PET bottles

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the first airline in the world to recycle PET bottles to make tools for repairing and maintaining its aircraft. Empty bottles are collected at the end of every flight and transformed into filament, the material used in 3D printers. This process means an empty water bottle can end up as part of a 3D-printed piece of equipment that saves Engineering & Maintenance time and money.

Initiativet ’Fly Responsibly’ skal forene flybranchen

Luftfartsindustrien stræber efter bæredygtig flytrafik. Arbejdet udføres dog oftest i eget regi, hvilket betyder, at omstillingen risikerer at tage længere tid. Som en reaktion på det har KLM initieret ’Fly Responsibly’ for at opfordre branchen til at tage ved lære af hinanden, dele deres best practice og inspirere til samarbejde.
