Metro Shipping joins AFKLMP Cargo’s SAF program
In the Netherlands, Air France KLM Martinair Cargo said that Metro Shipping is the first of its customers in
the United Kingdom to invest in the company’s SAF program.
“We are proud to be partnered with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo and take this collaborative approach
directly with the airline. Although it is currently early in the switch to full SAF on cargo flights, this will
gather pace over the coming years, and we are already promoting the benefit in greenhouse gas
reductions to our customers that are using time-critical modes across the industry,” said Grant Liddell,
Metro’s managing director.
Arturo Marte, cargo director for the United Kingdom & Ireland at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo, said:
“I’m pleased to welcome Metro Shipping as our first UK customer to join our Sustainable Aviation
Program. Metro Shipping has been very active in helping us raise awareness in our industry and more
specifically in the UK. Creating a more sustainable air bridge for our customers is crucial and will require
many initiatives from all of the players in the logistics chain.
“We’re very proud of the many initiatives being put into production to help curb the impact of fossil fuels in
air freight logistics. Looking forward to 2023, we’ll continue to engage with our respective customers to
gather the much-needed momentum here in the UK,” Marte added.
Air France KLM Martinair Cargo is the Air France-KLM Group’s dedicated air cargo business.
