KLM makes its first Santiago-Amsterdam flight with CO2 compensation
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines announced that this Wednesday flight KL702 took off from Santiago to Amsterdam, the airline’s first flight in Chile to offset the CO2 emissions of all passengers, taking a leading role in creating a more sustainable future for aviation.
The CO2 offsetting will take place through a contribution to the “CO2OL Tropical Mix” reforestation project, which has been supported by KLM for several years.

This flight was operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on its return to Santiago, reconnecting Chile with Buenos Aires and Amsterdam.
It should be noted that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner also offers operational and environmental advantages by consuming less fuel compared to previous generations of aircraft, as well as a 20% reduction in CO2 and noise emissions.
“Great companies carry great responsibilities, one of them is to maintain and improve our commitment to the environment, so we are very proud to be the first airline in Chile to offset the CO2 footprint on a full flight, in addition to continue connecting the world through KLM with more and better services for our customers, so we celebrate the daily flight between Santiago, Buenos Aires and Amsterdam” said Joël Wobma, Country Manager of Air France-KLM Group in Chile.
