Lufthansa Group and Airbus Partner to Promote Sustainable Business Travel with SAF

Germany

The Lufthansa Group and Airbus have joined forces to promote more sustainable business travel through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

As of June 1, Airbus has adopted Lufthansa Group’s “Sustainable Corporate Value Fare” for all domestic flights taken by its employees in Germany.

This special corporate fare enables companies to partially offset calculated CO₂ emissions by supporting the future use of SAF in Lufthansa’s operations, reinforcing both companies' commitment to climate responsibility in aviation.

Longstanding Partnership, New Focus on Sustainability

Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of Lufthansa Group, praised the collaboration:

“Together with our customers and industry partners, we’re driving aviation’s sustainable transformation. I’m especially grateful that Airbus—a long-standing and visionary partner—has chosen our SAF-based corporate fare, showing leadership in responsible travel. More and more companies are placing sustainability at the center of their travel policies, and we offer the solutions to support those goals.”

Raphaël Duflos, Vice President Corporate Services Procurement at Airbus, added:

“Since early 2024, we’ve worked closely with Lufthansa Group to adapt the ‘Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ to Airbus’s specific needs. The resulting offer enables SAF usage in the German domestic market and lays the groundwork for broader adoption within the business travel ecosystem.”

Customized SAF Solutions for Corporate Clients

The “Sustainable Corporate Value Fare” is one of several Lufthansa Group initiatives aimed at helping corporate customers reduce their climate footprint. The fare enables up to 30% of flight-related CO₂ emissions to be offset via SAF use. Additionally, companies can opt for SAF bulk deals to make a larger contribution toward decarbonizing air travel.

This partnership highlights the Lufthansa Group’s growing portfolio of customized, scalable sustainability solutions, supporting companies of all sizes in making meaningful climate progress—starting at cruising altitude.
