Air France - KLM GroupAir France-KLM delivered a solid second-quarter performance, reporting €8.4 billion in revenue, up 6.2 percent from last year, and an operating result of €736 million, a year-over-year increase of €223 million. The gains were largely supported by strong yields in the premium segment and a drop in fuel costs, while group capacity and traffic both expanded by 4.2 percent, keeping load factors steady at 87.8 percent.
Passenger demand was particularly strong across the North Atlantic, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, with premium economy revenue growing 27 percent year over year. Air France alone posted a 7.9 percent revenue boost to €5.2 billion, while KLM’s revenue rose 4 percent to €3.4 billion, though higher costs—including wage hikes and a steep increase in Schiphol airport charges—dampened the Dutch carrier’s profit.
Looking ahead, the group reaffirmed its 2025 outlook, targeting capacity growth of 4–5 percent year over year, while stressing the need for an “agile approach” amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Air France-KLM also highlighted efforts to scale up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), including partnerships with the French government and Airbus, reinforcing its commitment to greener air travel.
