Dutch airline KLM misled customers through advertisements that suggested its flights are climate friendly, an Amsterdam court ruled.

KLM makes climate claims in advertisements that are “based on vague and general statements about environmental benefits, thereby misleading consumers,” the district court of Amsterdam said in its judgment Wednesday. The carrier didn’t provide travelers with honest and concrete information, it said.
