Intermodality
Follow us
Thanks to strategic partnerships with railway operators, we offer customers intermodality services to increase the possibilities of combining lower GHG emissions through alternative modes of transportation.
Intermodality provides a response to the growing challenges of hub supply, regulation and the environment. To maximize this potential, strengthening the connectivity of airport hubs to the rail network is a crucial issue.
Air France-KLM pays attention to sobriety, and make sure that customers are well informed of the CO₂ emissions of their journey as soon as tickets are booked, offer intermodal "Train + Air" service giving preference to rail alternatives on short journeys, and a sobriety message mentioned at the end of effective advertising since summer 2024: "To continue travelling tomorrow, let's rethink the way we travel today".
Strong partnerships
A key part of the Group's strategy is forming stronger partnerships with railway companies. The Group has partnered with SNCF and Eurostar to offer its customers the possibility of booking their entire journey, including both flights and trains, in a single ticket, with guaranteed connections. This offer connects major markets in France, the Netherlands, UK, and Belgium to the Group's hubs in Paris and Amsterdam. Additionally, a new collaboration with the Swiss Federal Railways, aims to offer seamless, integrated air and rail travel options.
In 2025, Air France and SNCF Voyageurs are celebrating 30 years of partnership. 30 years of innovation and partnership to facilitate access to airports by train and encourage the use of low-carbon transport solutions when they are available. True to this spirit and convinced of the complementary nature of rail and air travel, the two companies are strengthening their ties by now allowing members of Flying Blue, the Air France-KLM loyalty program, to convert their Miles into electronic vouchers that can be used on the TGV INOUI network.
The Air France "Train+Air" product proposes 41 routes to customers traveling to and from the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports. The customer journey has been totally digital since 2022, with customers able to check in online for their entire journey
