How can we make a flight as efficient and sustainable as possible? That is what The Aviation Challenge is about. ✈️ Last Thursday, an Embraer 195-E2 from KLM Cityhopper flew from Amsterdam to Valencia, the city that has been declared as European Green Capital in 2024 by the European Commission. Before and during the flight, KLM tested various initiatives ⤵️ 🔹 The implementation of a new climbing procedure, OptiClimb, which can save 1% fuel. 🔹 Deploying as much electrical equipment as possible during airport ground processes. 🔹 The aircraft load was kept to a minimum and food waste was collected separately. 🔹 Wine carried in ‘Wine Tubes’, instead of small bottles. 🔹 Refurbished trolleys to collect and process all waste separately. 🔹 The cup in Business Class was made from agricultural waste and no porcelain was taken on board. 🔹 KLM's Inflight magazine, the Holland Herald, was available digitally via the WiFi on board. 🔹 Uniforms made of more durable fabric and implemented KLM trainers from Filling Pieces for the crew. The Aviation Challenge is a SkyTeam initiative to challenge airlines to make operations as efficient and sustainable as possible. Member airlines share the results of the tests so they can use them to work on making flying more sustainable. KLM recognizes its impact on the environment and climate and sees that there are limits to our planet and that immediate action is needed if we want to continue operating within these limits. By testing various innovations on board, KLM wants to find out what these yield, so that they can eventually become a standard part of flight operations. 📸: Arnoud R. & Jason Vermeulen #KLM #SkyTeam #TheAviationChallenge #TAC2024

At KLM Cityhopper, we are proud to be part of the world's first test of a hydrogen-powered Ground Power Unit (H2-GPU) at Schiphol. The H2-GPU supplies our aircraft on the apron with electricity, which is used for lighting and power in the cockpit. This world first is part of the TULIPS – Green Airports project, involving partners like zepp.solutions, Dynell GmbH, and KES B.V. and co-funded by the European Commission, is yet another step towards a more sustainable ground operation. We are committed to achieving an emission-free ground operation. Unlike zero-emission battery powered e-GPUs that require special charging points, the H2-GPU can be refueled on-site, saving significant time and reduce unnecessary equipment movements. This H2-GPU has the potential to eliminate our reliance on diesel powered GPU’s as current battery solutions do not always meet operational requirements. The TULIPS project, coordinated by Schiphol, brings together 33 European aviation parties and knowledge institutes to develop new technologies. Alongside the H2-GPU, the project focuses demonstrating blending and delivery of large-scale SAF volumes into airports, sustainable energy storage, and circular material solutions, supporting the EU Green Deal objectives. #Innovation #HydrogenPowered #Aviation #KLMCityhopper #TULIPSproject
