Florence Parly Appointed Chair of the Board of Directors of the Air France-KLM Group

This appointment will take effect following the 2025 Annual Shareholders' Meeting, which will approve the financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year and is scheduled to be held on June 4, 2025.

Florence Parly will succeed Anne-Marie Couderc, who has served as Chair of the Group’s Board of Directors since May 2018, and whose term is coming to an end. 

Florence Parly joined the Group’s Board of Directors in December 2023 as a board member.

Commenting on Florence Parly's appointment, Anne-Marie Couderc said: “I am very pleased with the Board's decision to appoint Florence Parly to succeed me as Chair of the Board.  Her extensive experience of the business world and of political institutions, in senior positions in the transport sector and as a minister, are remarkable assets for the success of Air France-KLM. 

7 years after being appointed myself, I am very proud of the work Benjamin Smith and I have accomplished. Despite a financial situation that still needs to be consolidated, our Group has emerged stronger from the successive crises we had to overcome.  I am confident about the future of Air France-KLM and I would particularly like to thank all our employees for the exceptional moments we have shared these past years.”
