The Lufthansa Group has entered into a collaboration with Airbus to promote sustainable business travel. As of June 1, Airbus employees have been using the "Sustainable Corporate Value Fare" for all Lufthansa flights within Germany. This fare allows for the offsetting of parts of calculated CO2 emissions through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in future operations.
Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of the Lufthansa Group, stated: "Together with our customers and strong partners from the industry, we strive towards greater sustainability. I am particularly pleased and thankful that our long-standing partner Airbus has opted for a corporate fare with SAF, demonstrating its leading role also in the field of sustainability. For many companies and its employees, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in travel decisions. As a leading airline group, we are the partner of choice for companies in achieving their goals with tailor-made solutions."
Raphael Duflos, Vice President Corporate Services Procurement at Airbus, added: "We have been working in close cooperation with Lufthansa Group since early 2024 to customize their ‘Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ to meet the specific needs of Airbus travelers. They have helped us to create a meaningful offer incorporating Sustainable Aviation Fuels, starting in the German domestic market. We are confident that such ‘Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ is going to be successful across the Business Travel ecosystem."
