Femke Kroese, General Manager Air France-KLM South East Asia & Oceania said: I welcome VINCI Energies Asia Pacific to our Corporate SAF programme. This is the 2nd company in Singapore to participate and I strongly believe that their participation will help create more awareness among companies in Singapore and will generate an interest to collaborate with us to stimulate the SAF available around the globe.
