The Lufthansa Group is seeing growing demand for more sustainable travel options.
The group enables its customers to contribute to reducing the climate impact of future flights with various offers for private and business air travel.
With success: more than 5% of Lufthansa Group passengers have chosen a more sustainable travel option in 2025 – for example, the Green Fares flight fares. Four years ago, this share was below 0.1%. Last year, the volume of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sold across various offerings more than doubled. Passengers’ active commitment to more sustainable flying is an important pillar of the Lufthansa Group’s sustainability strategy.
Just in time for the upcoming summer travel season 2026, the Lufthansa Group is once again expanding its portfolio of offerings for more sustainable flying. Tour operators can now book the new “TO Green” fare. The offer was developed in response to the growing demand for more sustainable booking options – especially for private travel. The product is based on the proven Green Fares – specially tailored to the needs of tour operators.
Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of the Lufthansa Group, said: “The growing demand for our more sustainable flying options confirms that we are on the right track. Every contribution from our passengers increases the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels in our network and reduces CO₂ emissions. We continuously develop our portfolio to make more sustainable flying even easier and more attractive. We are demonstrating that this is not just a vision, but already an established option today.”
The Green Fares introduced in spring 2023 have played a key role in raising awareness of more sustainable travel options and making them more attractive. To date, more than four million passengers have opted for a Green Fares ticket, making an important contribution to more sustainable travel. Green Fares are special fares that include a contribution to saving future CO₂ emissions in the amount of the estimated individual flight-related CO₂ emissions, in addition to other features. Since the end of January 2026, the Green Fares have also been available for group bookings of more than nine people on long-haul flights operated by Lufthansa Group Airlines in all travel classes.
More sustainable offers for corporate customers and freight transport
Corporate customers also benefit from the Lufthansa Group’s offers. For example, companies can purchase larger quantities of SAF through so-called SAF bulk deals. With an investment of €2,000 or more, they receive a Scope 3 certificate for CO₂ savings in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard. This not only strengthens their company’s commitment to the environment but also promotes the further development and use of SAF in the aviation industry. Across all corporate customer products, more than 1,680 companies worldwide have invested in SAF with the Lufthansa Group in 2025.
Lufthansa Cargo corporate customers can also opt for more sustainable freight transport with the “Sustainable Choice” add-on service. The optional service can be easily booked via the Lufthansa Cargo homepage and combines the subsequent use of SAF with a contribution to high-quality climate protection projects. Logistics companies are also increasingly concluding SAF bulk deals, which Lufthansa Cargo offers for purchase quantities of 100 metric tons of SAF or more.
Five levers of the Lufthansa Group for more sustainable flying
The diverse range of offers for private travellers and corporate customers, together with fleet modernisation, continuous improvement in fuel efficiency in flight operations, the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and the expansion of intermodality, are one of five levers with which the Lufthansa Group is promoting more sustainable flying. In addition, the Lufthansa Group has been actively supporting global climate and weather research for more than 30 years.
