Paris, June 17, 2026<\/p>\n

Air France-KLM announces that it has signed a new multi-purpose credit facility for \u20ac1 billion with a syndicate of 12 international banks<\/p>\n

Air France-KLM has signed a new multi-purpose credit facility for an amount of \u20ac1 billion with a syndicate of 12 international banks. The facility, which can be drawn and redeemed at the issuer\u2019s full discretion, has an initial maturity in June 2028 and includes a one-year extension option at the lenders\u2019 discretion, potentially extending the maturity to June 2029.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the facility is to refinance existing financial instruments including instruments associated with the group\u2019s M&A activity (subject to applicable closing conditions), which may arise from the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n

This transaction further strengthens Air France-KLM\u2019s financial flexibility and complements the Group\u2019s existing liquidity resources and diversified funding structure.<\/p>\n

The Group will pursue its financing strategy through bond issuances to meet its annual debt and hybrid redemptions, aiming to redeem hybrid instruments and simplify its balance sheet. By combining this facility with bond issues, the Group can diversify its sources of funding, whilst optimizing the timing and pricing of different financings based on most favorable market windows.<\/p>\n

The facility benefits from attractive conditions reflecting the confidence of the Group\u2019s banking partners in Air France-KLM\u2019s current credit profile and financial trajectory. This new credit facility will not impact the Group\u2019s Gross Debt and Net Debt \/ Current EBITDA ratio, which stood at 1.5x at the end of March, in line with the Group\u2019s ambition of maintaining a leverage between 1.5x to 2.0x.<\/p>\n
