KLM has confirmed the continuation of a sustainable fish sourcing policy for its onboard meals. The decision follows the success of a pilot project the airline carried out last year, where KLM served MSC certified sustainable South African hake on its Amsterdam outbound World Business Class flights.
The implementation of KLM's sustainable fish sourcing policy will take place through a stepwise approach that has already started at home-base Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. KLM is committed to serving MSC certified fish on 50% of their flights in the World Business Class. For all other meals onboard, KLM will consult the Fish Guide developed by the World Wide Fund For Nature and North Sea Foundation.
Paul Elich, EVP of KLM Inflight Services says: 'Air France KLM leads the airline Dow Jones Sustainability Index - it is our ambition to set the standard in in-flight catering all over the world when it comes to sustainable sourcing. We are convinced that we can contribute to healthy oceans by working together with the MSC and WWF."
