Internship – Flight Operations Engineer – Fuel Efficiency & Emissions

Since 1978 our Group has continued to provide end to end innovative and efficient solutions to customers, encompassing a complete range of shipping, land, air and logistics solutions. Today, we are reaffirming our values by continuing our growth through the newly created CMA CGM AIR CARGO division. This new activity enables us to offer a comprehensive range of services, thus reenforcing our strategic position with our global customers.

Already equipped with a fleet of 4x long-haul aircraft (1 x A330-200F and 3 x B777F), CMA CGM AIR CARGO is on an ambitious mission to continue to grow its current fleet with the acquisition of new freighters.

CMA CGM AIR CARGO has already confirmed orders for 4x Airbus A350 freighters and will become the world’s first airline to launch and operate this state of the art cargo aircraft.

We are evolving our fleet towards more efficient and carbon-neutral models to accelerate the decarbonization of air freight.

As part of its development, CMA CGM Air Cargo is recruiting an Engineer to join the Research & Development Department to work on the Fuel Efficiency project.
