The internship offer
As part of its current Sustainability Strategy, SkyTeam is developing and delivering a number of high-priority sustainability initiatives, together with its member airlines.

From Day 1, you will work closely with our member airlines on data collection and analysis, storytelling, and relationship building. The team will very much welcome your curiosity, sustainability knowledge, and ability to bring innovative ideas to the table.
