Intermodality
Follow us
Air France-KLM offers its customers, through its “Train + Air” and “Air & Rail” services, the option to combine rail and air travel within a single booking. This solution aims to facilitate access to airports by train, provide greater flexibility for travellers, and encourage the use of lower-carbon transport modes whenever available.
Intermodality is an integral part of Air France-KLM’s decarbonisation strategy, alongside fleet renewal, the integration of SAF, and operational measures.
Air France and KLM enable passengers to combine an international flight with a train journey to or from eligible stations in France and Belgium, with simplified connections via the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol hubs.
Thanks to suitable infrastructure and effective coordination between operators, this intermodal offering provides a seamless travel experience and enhances the attractiveness of the regions served.
As early as 2001, Air France established a partnership with the rail sector to offer a unique cross-border train–air combination, combining performance, comfort, and low-carbon mobility. Strengthening partnerships with rail operators is a key pillar of the Group’s strategy. Air France-KLM has partnered with SNCF and Eurostar to enable the booking of an entire journey—flights and trains included—under a single reservation, with guaranteed connections. This offering connects major markets in France, the Netherlands, and Belgium to the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol hubs. In parallel, a collaboration with the Swiss Federal Railways aims to provide fully integrated air and rail journeys, without disruption.
In 2025, Air France and SNCF Voyageurs celebrated 30 years of partnership: three decades of innovation and joint efforts to facilitate rail access to airports and encourage the complementarity of these transport modes. In 2025, the two companies further strengthened their cooperation by allowing members of Flying Blue, the Air France-KLM loyalty programme, to convert their Miles into digital vouchers usable on the TGV INOUI network.
Air France’s “Train + Air” product currently serves 24 stations for customers travelling to and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Fully digitalised since 2022, the journey allows online check-in for the entire trip.
KLM’s “Air & Rail” product is available at Amsterdam-Schiphol Station for connections to and from Brussels and Antwerp-Central.

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".
