Air France-KLM, world leader in air cargo transport: Creation of the Cargo European House
27 Jan 2005
Since the Air France-KLM Group was set up, the two airlines have developed a deeper and closer cooperation in their cargo businesses. They have made significant progress in achieving synergies such as network management, capacity swaps and coordinating freighter schedules. In addition, KLM has joined SkyTeam Cargo.

The founding principle of Air France-KLM is "One group, Two airlines, Three core businesses". Hence, the focus in the coming years will broadly be on realizing synergies and not on organizational integration. However, in certain specific sectors, such as cargo, joint entities will be introduced if justified by a strong business rationale.

As part of this strategy, and as announced on 14 May 2004, Air France and KLM have decided to create a unified management body in their cargo businesses, called "Cargo European House", which should be operational by the end of 2005. This team will be in charge of network management, marketing and sales, with each airline continuing to manage its own operations.
