General Terms and Conditions for the Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) Option

Air France offers its customers the possibility of voluntarily contributing to the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("Sustainable Aviation Fuel" - "SAF") on its future flights, hereinafter "Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) Option."  These alternative fuels, produced from non-fossil resources, reduce CO₂ emissions by an average of 80% over their entire life cycle compared to fossil fuels.
