THIRD QUARTER 2025

November 6, 2025

Stable operating result at €1.2 billion

with operating margin at 13.1%
  • Group revenues up 2.6% year-on-year to €9.2bn, driven by Passenger network, Transavia and Maintenance.
  • Unit revenue at constant currency down -0.5% due to Cargo and Transavia, while group capacity went up by 5.1% and fuel price after hedging decreased by 8.9%. Solidarity tax on tickets (“TSBA”) and Schiphol tariff impacting unit revenue significantly.
  • Unit cost increase is moderating to +1.3%, coming down as expected, despite increase in Air Traffic Control and airport charges (Schiphol tariff +41%) and limited by productivity gains.
  • Operating result improvement, up €23m compared to Q3 2024, which was impacted by the Olympic Games, to €1,203m.
  • Strong cash flow performance: recurring adjusted operating free cash flow positive at €0.7bn for the first 9 months, up €0.7bn year-on-year.
  • Leverage (Net debt/Current EBITDA ratio) at 1.6x.
  • Solid cash at hand of €9.5bn at end September 2025.
  • Fleet renewal accelerating, up 8 points year-on-year, with 32% share of next generation aircraft.

FY 2025 outlook reconfirmed

For 2025 the Group expects:

  • Capacity up by 4-5% compared to 2024.
  • Unit cost to increase by a low single digit compared to 2024.
  • Net capital expenditures between €3.2bn and €3.4bn.
  • Leverage between 1.5x and 2.0x.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Benjamin Smith, Group CEO, said:

“During the third quarter, Air France–KLM once again demonstrated its resilience in a challenging environment. We maintained solid revenue growth and a stable operating margin, while cash generation remained strong over the first nine months - confirming the benefits of our continued focus on execution. Premium cabins performed exceptionally well across both Air France and KLM, further reinforcing our confidence in our premiumization strategy. Our fleet renewal continued to progress, with one-third of our aircraft now next-generation, quieter, and more fuel-efficient - a key milestone advancing both our sustainability ambitions and our customer experience. This progress is amplified by the rollout of free high-speed Wi-Fi at Air France, a true game changer for our customers. We expect 30% of the Air France fleet to be equipped by the end of 2025. Finally, we continued to broaden our global reach with new routes and strategic partnerships, further strengthening the Group’s network and competitive positioning”.

Operating result improvement driven by fuel price evolution

In the third quarter of 2025, Air France-KLM welcomed 29.2 million passengers which is 4.7% above last year. As capacity increased by 5.1% and traffic by 4.5%, the load factor decreased slightly from 89.3% to 88.8%.

The Group unit revenue per ASK was down -0.5% year-on-year at constant currency, due to a reduction in Cargo unit revenues (-5.1% at constant currency) and Transavia unit revenues             (-2.8%). Passenger network showed a positive unit revenue development of +0.5% driven by premium cabins and long haul.

Passenger yields increased year on year for all long-haul areas while the load factor decreased for all long-haul areas except Caribbean and Indian Ocean (stable).

The operating result rose €23 million year-on-year to €1,203 million, with a stable margin of 13.1%. This operating result improvement was supported by a €107 million decrease in fuel price, partly offset by a 0.5% decline in unit revenues and a limited, as expected, increase of 1.3% in unit costs.

Q3 unit cost1 was up 1.3% as a consequence of the below elements:

  • +0.1% cost representing the net result of:
    • +0.6% from labour price
    • -1.3% from productivity benefits
    • +0.8% from operations
  • +0.6% due to an increase in Air Traffic Charges and Airport Charges, especially due to the 41% tariff increase at Schiphol
  • +0.6% due to premiumization of the cabin driving unit revenue gains

Cash

For the first nine months of the year, the Group reported a positive operating free cash flow of €1,474 million, driven by a strong EBITDA (+€661m year on year) and by a positive working capital movement of €402 million, although impacted by the payment of deferrals inherited from the pandemic which amounted to €369 million. Net capex amounted to €2,567 million. Recurring adjusted operating free cash flow2 reached €715 million, an increase of €692 million year-on-year which was almost fully driven by the EBITDA improvement.

Net debt increased to €7.8 billion, up €455 million. The increase is mainly explained by the deferrals from the pandemic impacting the positive operating free cash flow of €1.5 billion. The new and modified lease debt amounted to €1.7 billion which was driven by fleet renewal and extension of current leases to cover delivery delays.

The leverage ratio stood at 1.6x, in line with the Group’s ambition of 1.5x to 2.0x.

At the end of September 2025, cash at hand stood at €9.5 billion, above the targeted range of €6–8 billion and slightly higher than at year-end 2024.


During the first nine months of 2025, the following financial transactions took place:

  • The redemption in January of the remaining €515.2 million principal amount of the €750 million 1.875% notes due 16 January 2025 (ISIN: FR0014477254). The redemption, via the Group’s own liquidity, underscores the robustness of its financial position.
  • The successfully priced issuance in May of €500 million hybrid bonds (3.5x oversubscribed), at an annual fixed coupon of 5.75% (yield at 5.875%) until the first reset date. The Hybrid Bonds, undated and deeply subordinated, were rated BB by Fitch and B+ by S&P and do qualify for 50% equity credit with both rating agencies.
  • In July Air France-KLM fully redeemed the perpetual bonds issued in July 2022 for an amount of €500 million. These bonds were issued by an operating affiliate of Air France, that owns a pool of spare engines dedicated to the airline’s Engineering and Maintenance activities and was fully subscribed by Apollo affiliated entities.
  • In August AF-KLM successfully placed a €500 million senior unsecured notes under its EMTN (Euro Medium Term Notes) Programme. The maturity of the notes is 5 years, and the notes carry a fixed annual coupon of 3.75% (yield at 3.866%) and lowest credit spread for a bond issued by AF-KLM.

Above transactions enable the Group to simplify its balance sheet and optimize its cost of financing while maintaining financial flexibility. The Group’s strategy is to reduce the stock of subordinated instruments on its balance sheet. On October 15, the Group announced that it has decided to exercise its option to redeem all of the outstanding hybrid convertible bonds from the First Hard Call Date at a price per HC Bond equal to par (€100,000), in total €305 million plus accrued interest of €1,625 (the “Redemption price”) per HC bond, which shall be payable on Monday 24 November 2025. This redemption will be fully done via our own cash.

FY 2025 outlook reconfirmed

The Group expects

  • Capacity in Available Seat Kilometers for Air France-KLM Group including Transavia to increase by 4 to 5% in 2025 compared to 2024
  • Unit cost3 to increase by a low single digit compared to 2024
  • Net capital expenditures between 3.2 and 3.4 billion euros
  • Leverage ratio (net debt/Current EBITDA ratio) between 1.5x and 2.0x

Sustainability

Sustainability is a collective responsibility, and Air France- KLM is committed to play its role. The Group supports the adoption of ambitious environmental targets, advocating for an industry- wide transformation that ensures a global level playing field.

Air France-KLM has become the first airline group to cooperate with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in supporting the development of the upcoming EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL) — a key initiative designed to provide passengers with more information on the environmental footprint of their flights.

Endorsed by the European Commission, this cooperation aims to equip consumers with standardized, reliable data on CO₂ emissions and energy efficiency for flights within Europe. The goal is to enable clients to make informed decisions when booking air travel. As part of this partnership, Air France-KLM will actively contribute by testing and providing feedback on EASA’s FEL portal, as well as on the technical and methodological design of the label, drawing on its operational expertise to help shape the future label. The Group’s participation underlines its commitment to working with regulators and industry partners to drive forward collective climate action in aviation.

Fleet Renewal

On August 25, 2025, Air France received its 46th Airbus A220-300 in Paris, delivered from Airbus’ Mirabel site in Canada. This ferry flight marked a first: the aircraft was delivered with a blend containing 50% SAF - an alternative to conventional fossil based aviation fuel - certified directly by Airbus. This milestone reflects the Air France-KLM Group’s commitment to accelerating the decarbonization of air transport.

Fleet renewal is a cornerstone of the Group’s Transition Plan. With fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions reduced by 20% per seat-kilometer compared with previous-generation aircraft, the Airbus A220 embodies this ambition.

In 2025 the Group took delivery of 38 new-generation aircraft across all its airlines. In the third quarter 1 A350, 2 B787-10, 6 A320/321neo family, 3 A220 and 2 E195-E2 were delivered.

These major investments – totaling more than €2 billion per year – are contributing to a fleet that could be composed of up to 80% new-generation aircraft by 2030.

At the end of September 2025, 32% of the Group’s fleet consisted of new-generation aircraft.

Post quarter events

Air France-KLM announced on the 23rd of October that it has completed the acquisition of a 2.3% stake in Canadian carrier WestJet. This transaction was initially announced on May 9th, 2025.

Air France-KLM purchased that stake from its joint venture partner Delta Air Lines, which had taken a 15% minority stake in WestJet, as part of a previously announced separate transaction also involving Korean Air’s purchase of a 10% interest. That transaction closed on October 22nd, 2025. Air France-KLM further reinforces its commercial cooperation with the Canadian carrier and strengthens its footprint in the North American market.

WestJet, Canada’s second largest airline and the leading carrier in Western Canada, has been a partner of Air France-KLM since 2009 through codeshare- and loyalty program agreements. The airline ranks as Air France-KLM’s sixth largest partner in terms of enabled revenues. The partnership continues to strengthen as WestJet expands its long-haul network between Canada and Europe, offering more than 100 destinations that complement Air France-KLM’s network of over 300 destinations worldwide.

During the third quarter of 2025, capacity in Available Seat Kilometers (ASK) was 3.4% higher than last year. Traffic growth (+2.9%) has led to a slightly lower load factor of 88.8%. Yield at constant currency showed an increase of 0.9%, leading to a unit revenue increase of 0.5% year-on-year at constant currency. The yield increase was fully driven by strong performance of premium cabins, La Premiere and business class, and by the premium economy cabin. Yield in the economy class was negative.

During the third quarter we observed the following trends in:

North Atlantic

Unit revenue was broadly stable despite a 4.8% capacity increase. The performance was strong in premium cabins with positive yields while economy cabin yield remained under pressure

Latin America

Unit revenue grew on the back of strong yields (+2.8%), while load factor was stable at 91% and capacity increased by 9.2%. The balance between industry supply and demand remained favorable across the quarter.

Asia & Middle East

Continued strong performance on Japan, Korea & South-East Asia, as well as Middle East where unit revenue was up 6%. Load factor was broadly stable at 90% and capacity showed an increase of almost 2%.

Caribbean & Indian Ocean

Capacity was stable during the quarter enabling Air France and KLM to grow their yields which drove an increase in unit revenue of around 4%. Load factor remained stable at 88%.

Africa
Capacity (+1.5%) and yields (+1.4%) were slightly up year-on-year while load factor slightly decreased (-1.6pt) to 88%, leading to broadly stable unit revenue development.

Short and Medium-haul

Overall, capacity rose 1.5%, with a broadly stable load factor at 86% and with yields remaining flat.

Transavia’s capacity in Available Seat Kilometers grew 13.8%, while traffic increased by 12.6%, resulting in a decrease in load factor of 0.9 points. Yields went down by 1.8% resulting in a unit revenue reduction of -2.8%.

Transavia Netherlands faced increased competition, partly due to redirected capacity from the Middle East towards other European destinations, putting the unit revenues under pressure. Also, the increase in Schiphol tariffs in combination with the increase of the ticket tax last year is resulting in higher ticket prices and pushing travelers to airports in Germany.
In France, performance was affected by a two days ATC strike early July and by the implementation of the TSBA since 1st of March 2025 which is impacting the unit revenue significantly.
Overall, unit cost increased by 2.0% mainly due to higher operational costs for Transavia France. Transavia Netherlands experienced smooth operations this summer resulting in significantly lower customer compensation than last year, partly compensated by an increase in wet lease activities.

In the third quarter, the operating result reached €799 million, up €67 million year-on-year. The operating margin improved 0.8 points compared to Q3 last year (which was negatively impacted by the Olympic Games) despite a two days ATC strike early July and the increase of the solidarity tax on tickets (TSBA) effective since March 1st, 2025. This tax increase has a significantly negative impact on the unit revenue.

KLM: Operating margin impacted by yield pressure in economy cabin

Operating result (in €m)341-54339-26
Operating margin (%)9.5%-1.6pt3.4%-0.4pt

Third quarter revenues grew 1.2%, while capacity grew by more than 7%. Both yields and load factor decreased for Passenger network, Cargo and Transavia. Operations were impacted by labor disputes with two ground unions in September. In addition, the increase in landing & takeoff charges and the increase in passenger & security charges, implemented as per April 1st, 2025 have a significant impact on KLM Group’s unit revenue.

KLM as a connecting carrier is impacted by a reduction in low yielding passenger demand. However, premium classes and Premium Economy continue to perform strongly. Premium Economy ASKs increased by 28% and on higher capacity, load factor increased by 1 point and yields at constant currency increased 7%. Cargo unit revenues were negatively impacted by full freighter maintenance, driving negative mix effects.

Operating margin (%)24.4%-3.1pt24.8%-1.1pt

In the third quarter Flying Blue Miles generated €221 million in total revenue, including revenues from third-party airline and non-airline partners. The operating margin reached 24.4%.
Revenue continued to grow year-on-year thanks to volumes and despite weaker USD. The cost of redeeming miles increased due to less favorable reward tickets (less seat availability for FB members compared to Q3 2024 where the Olympic Games had a positive effect on Flying Blue).

Nb: Sum of individual airline and Flying Blue results does not add up to AF-KLM total due to intercompany eliminations at Group level.
