Whether it’s delivering world-class service on flight KL809 to Kuala Lumpur or harnessing AI for smarter ground operations, our employees are always looking for ways to go the extra mile. Where others say, ‘That’s not possible’, we say, ‘Watch this!’. For over 105 years, we’ve embraced the pioneering spirit that built aviation. And today, that same mindset drives us to keep innovating, for our customers, passengers, and colleagues. To shape the future of aviation.

On the road to sustainability

At KLM, sustainability is part of every job, no matter your role. Whether you're a pilot, product manager, or business controller, you're helping shape the future of aviation. While we still have a way to go in minimising emissions, we’re dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint—both in the skies and on the ground. It’s a challenging journey, but it’s one worth taking.

What pleasantly surprised me is that everyone is very open, and everyone wants to help each other. If it’s difficult, people say ‘no problem, I'll squeeze in a meeting and explain it to you.
