Over the last 12 months, SkyTeam has established itself as a driving force for greener air travel, having launched The Sustainable Flight Challenge in May 2022. As well as helping customers to travel more sustainably, the alliance’s ongoing focus on technology continues to make travel more seamless, while customers have two new global airport lounges to enjoy in Santiago de Chile and São Paulo.
SkyTeam is also the first alliance to unanimously commit to IATA’s 25by2025 initiative to help increase gender diversity in the aviation industry.
“Across our global network, SkyTeam people work hard day in, day out to deliver a more seamless customer experience – from SkyPriority airport services to new lounges in São Paulo and Santiago de Chile. And as well as a focus on transforming the travel experience through technology, we are working to make customers’ travel with SkyTeam more sustainable through the Sustainable Flight Challenge”, SkyTeam CEO and Managing Director, Patrick Roux said.
Launched in May 2022, The Sustainable Flight Challenge is an industry-first initiative that brings global airlines together in a shared mission to develop new ideas and innovations to make air travel greener. The second challenge takes off in May 2023 and has been extended to ‘friends & family’ airlines close to SkyTeam.
