200,000 guests in 100 days: Successful launch of Green Fares at the Lufthansa Group

The Lufthansa Group is the world's first airline group to offer a flight fare that includes offsetting of individual, flight-related CO₂ emissions. The new Green Fares offer for more sustainable travel has been available for booking since mid-February 2023. In the first 100 days since its introduction, around 200,000 guests have already opted for a Green Fares flight within Europe or to North Africa, thus contributing to more sustainable flying. The route with the highest number of Green Fares bookings is Zurich-London with SWISS, followed by Hamburg-Munich with Lufthansa.

The Lufthansa Group airlines offer their guests various options for offsetting the CO₂ emissions of an individual flight - from a "green fare" and additional offsetting offers in the booking process to the possibility of making an individual contribution during the flight or afterwards. Currently, three percent of passengers offset CO₂ emissions through one of the offers along the travel chain. The Lufthansa Group's goal is to inspire five percent of its passengers to travel more sustainably by the end of the year.

Last year, Lufthansa Group passengers offset about 43,900 tons of CO₂ by purchasing Sustainable Aviation Fuel and about 380,000 tons of CO₂ through high-quality, long-term climate protection projects.
