Air France is set to boost investments in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) this summer with plans to match customers' voluntary contributions to its SAF investment fund during the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The French carrier on Wednesday (13 March) said it will match each individual purchase of its ‘Environment Option’, which allows travellers to contribute to the airline’s SAF investment fund when booking flights via its website or app.
The initiative is effective from today and, according to the carrier, will automatically apply to all bookings for travel between 18 July and 9 September, 2024, to destinations in mainland France, as well as French Polynesia.
The carrier has previously stated that it plans to incorporate at least 10 per cent of SAF on all its flights worldwide by 2030, compared with 1 per cent currently used today.
