Lufthansa Group expands Green Fares to global network

Lufthansa is expanding its sustainable flying Green Fares across its global route network.

The Green Fares will be bookable on short and long-haul routes in all travel classes from December 4.

They are available on more than 850,000 flights per year.

The more sustainable flight ticket already includes offsetting of individual flight- related CO2 emissions.

The Green Fares have been available for short and medium-haul routes since February 2023.

Following a successful test run on selected intercontinental routes, the fare can now be booked regularly on long-haul routes.

Since the launch of Green Fares, more than two million passengers have already opted for the tariff and have offset almost 190,000 tonnes of CO2.

This represents CO2 emissions of more than 1,300 flights from Munich to New York with an Airbus A350.

Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of the Lufthansa Group, said: “We have set ourselves ambitious goals to make flying more sustainable. We are also involving our customers and offering them the opportunity to actively contribute to more sustainable aviation.”

Green Fares includes the full offsetting of the individual, flight-related CO2 emissions: through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and a contribution to the Lufthansa Group’s climate project portfolio.

Green Fares are available for flights operated by Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, SWISS, Edelweiss, Discover Airlines and Air Dolomiti.

The only exceptions are flights operated by other airlines and individual routings in selected traffic areas of joint venture partners.

Eurowings also offers a tariff for more sustainable flying under the name PlanetBlu.
