Air France's environmental policy took on a new dimension on 13 October, with the inauguration of the most CO2-efficient flight ever made. On flight AF6129 from Toulouse to Paris on Thursday afternoon, CO2 emissions were halved, thanks in particular to the partial use of 50% of biofuel. Fuel is not the only factor in this breakthrough, presented as a world first by the airline. Air France has also focused on optimising flight procedures - in particular by replacing a step-by-step approach with a gradual descent - and, above all, by cutting down on superfluous kilos. The airline has lightened its onboard weight, from seats (-40%) to trolleys (-351kg), trays and cups (-36kg) and carpets (-60kg). The result: CO2 emissions limited to 54g of CO2 per passenger per km, half that of a traditional flight. \"This commercial flight, which brings together all the energy-saving components for the first time, is part of the airline's ambitious programme to support the fight against climate change,\" said the airline in a press release published on Thursday.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
