Air France, KLM and Brussels Airlines<\/strong> are among 20 airlines being investigated by the European Union for potentially misleading greenwashing practices, the airlines told Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU said airlines needed to make clear to what extent claims that the CO2 emissions caused by a flight could be offset by climate projects or through the use of sustainable fuels can be substantiated based on sound scientific evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Air France confirms having received a letter from the European Commission. The company is currently reviewing its contents and will study the follow-up to be taken,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lufthansa Group said in a statement that it naturally deals with every complaint it receives and that it is examining it carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for KLM said the Dutch part of the Air France-KLM airline group had also received a letter from the commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E) said in a statement that it recognises the importance of clear information about sustainability, but said that current regulations in the EU “vary significantly between countries and are still evolving”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU has said it will not disclose the names of the airlines as long as they are at a preliminary stage of the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
