Lufthansa Group and Airbus collaborate for business travel with SAF
The Lufthansa Group is entering into an agreement with Airbus in the field of more sustainable business travel. Since June 1, the “Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ has been used by Airbus for all LufThansa flights taken by its employees within Germany. This fare enables offsetting of parts of the calculated CO 2 emissions through the subsequent use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in future flight operations. For many companies and its employees, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in travel decisions.
Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer Lufthansa Group, says:
“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 declares:
“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.”
Customized options for more sustainable flying with SAF
The Lufthansa Group offers several special fares for corporate customers: With the “Sustainable Corporate Value Fare”, business customers can offset up to 30 percent of the CO₂ emissions calculated for their individual flight through the use of SAF in flight operations. The Lufthansa Group also offers companies the opportunity to invest in larger quantities of SAF through SAF bulk deals.
