Air France's cargo division was officially created in 1972, with the establishment of a dedicated department. At that time, cargo represented up to 22% of the company's overall business. By the 1980s, Air France had established itself as one of the world leaders in the sector.
Today, Air France Cargo relies on a network of more than 200 stations worldwide, organized around four major cargo terminals, including Paris-Charles de Gaulle, a veritable logistics hub. Working in synergy with KLM Cargo and Martinair, it forms one of the world's largest air cargo networks, providing optimal coverage of all major economic zones.
The offering also relies on the SkyTeam Cargo alliance, which strengthens connectivity opportunities and complementarity with other partner airlines.
Air France Cargo operates a combined fleet:
This complementarity between cargo and passenger aircraft allows for speed, regularity, and adaptability.
More than 3,000 specialized employees work for Air France KLM Martinair Cargo worldwide. Trained to the most demanding industry standards, they provide reliable, compliant, and responsive service every day, while respecting safety, quality, and deadline commitments.
The Air France Cargo School actively contributes to this dynamic by ensuring the skills development of teams, partners, and customers in all regulatory and operational issues related to air cargo.
