KLM staff share in the company’s improved results
This year, all KLM staff with a Dutch contract will benefit from the company’s preliminary improvements in its operational results. The collective labour agreements from recent years have included arrangements to let the staff share in the profits. On 18 February, KLM published its 2015 annual results. With operational results of EUR 388 million, the profit-sharing scheme will now be paid out.

Furthermore, we did not give pay rises to management in 2016. This is in line with the business challenges that KLM now faces. The salaries fall far below the market average. Every year the KLM Supervisory Board evaluates KLM’s remuneration policy and the company’s actual results. As is the case for a large number of KLM staff, a system of variable income also applies for management. The KLM Supervisory Board sets this variable income based on the achievement of the company’s financial and non-financial targets. The size of this variable income is determined in part by KLM’s and AIR FRANCE KLM’s operational results (EBITDA).

Air France-KLM continues to make every effort to reduce its environmental footprint and foster social development, despite a difficult economic context.

“Aware of the important role air transport plays in global exchanges, Air France-KLM fully assumes its environmental and social responsibilities. The Group must remain firmly committed to sustainable development initiatives to pursue this vital role”, stated Pierre-Henri Gourgeon, CEO of Air France-KLM.

Peter Hartman, President and CEO of KLM, added: “We are one of the most committed actors in the air transport sector hen it comes to fighting climate change. We continue to push for collective responses to limit CO2 emissions”.

In order to do so, Air France-KLM has called on the United Nations to include international aviation in a specific agreement, and continues to pursue its fleet upgrading policy, optimize flight procedures, support research into climate change, finance the fight against deforestation and contribute to the development of sustainable bio-fuels.
