The aviation giant initially launched these fares in the Scandinavian market in August 2022 before expanding them across its short-haul network in February 2023 and on a limited number of long-haul routes from November 2023. Lufthansa said that two million passengers have so far booked Green Fares since their introduction.
\nThe Green Fares will be bookable in all travel classes across all the group’s carriers, including Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss, Discover Airlines and Air Dolomiti.
\nFor flights within Europe and Africa, use of alternative aviation fuel reduces CO2 emissions by 20 per cent, with the remaining 80 per cent offset through climate-protection projects.
\nOn intercontinental routes, alternative aviation fuel reduces 10 per cent of the CO2 emissions with the remaining 90 per cent being offset, according to a statement from Lufthansa.
\nDieter Vranckx, chief commercial officer of the Lufthansa Group, said: \u201cWith our innovative Green Fares, we are involving our customers and offering them \u2013 as the first airline group worldwide \u2013 the opportunity to actively contribute to more sustainable aviation on more than 850,000 flights.
\n\u201cExtending Green Fares to the Lufthansa Group’s global long-haul network is an enormously important and consistent step \u2013 not only for us, but for the entire aviation industry.\u201d
\nLufthansa Group has also introduced a new \u201cenvironmental cost surcharge\u201d of up to \u20ac72 per flight to cover part of the cost of complying with new green regulatory rules for airlines.- Business Travel News Europe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
