Vision
The Aero Design System is a solid foundation for all our digital platforms. It helps teams quickly adapt to changes, focus on innovation, and avoid recreating the same solutions.
Objectives
Curate
Building a multi-brand library of standardized components and foundations to solve design challenges. This ensures better accessibility and a consistent user experience across all digital touchpoints.
Collaborate
Encouraging teamwork between designers, developers, and stakeholders through regular feedback. This helps refine our components and workflows so the design system can grow with the Air France KLM’s needs.
Create
Giving teams reusable components, foundations, and guidelines to speed up development. This lets them focus on user needs while staying on-brand.
Scope
Our focus has been on building the global foundation for Air France and KLM. We will apply it on Blueweb first, allowing us to refine and learn internally before expanding to all touchpoints and gradually opening up public access.
