KLM

KLM supports the call in the Wennink report ‘The Route to Future Prosperity’ for the government to invest in a national Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) fund. Such a fund would enable the Netherlands to accelerate the production of alternative aviation fuels and make them more affordable, thereby accelerating the sector’s sustainability. KLM urges policymakers to adopt this recommendation, emphasizing that real progress can only be achieved if government and industry work together. The airline fully endorses the report’s conclusions about the crucial importance of aviation to safeguarding prosperity and maintaining the Netherlands’ innovative ecosystem. To achieve the joint ambition of a 14% SAF blend in the Netherlands by 2030, alternative fuels must become more affordable and widely available. KLM suggests the fund could be financed through revenues from the existing Dutch aviation tax, bridging the price gap between SAF and fossil kerosene.
