The Lufthansa Group announced in September that it has developed a particularly sustainable offer package for passengers traveling to this year’s United Nations World Climate Conference COP28 in Dubai.

From Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium, they can take advantage of a special fare with Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss and Brussels Airlines that includes 100 percent offsetting of flight-related CO2 emissions via sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Other components include a free rebooking option and a bike-rental voucher for one weeklong bicycle rental across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Business-class guests can also make use of an airport-hotel transfer in an e-limousine.

The special offer is available in all booking classes and can be booked until Dec. 10 here.

The Lufthansa Group has set ambitious climate-protection goals and aims to achieve a neutral CO2 balance by 2050.

Already by 2030, the Lufthansa Group wants to halve its net CO2 emissions compared to 2019 through reduction and compensation measures.

The reduction goal for 2030 was validated by the independent Science Based Targets initiative in August 2022.

The Lufthansa Group was the first airline group in Europe with a science-based CO2-reduction target in line with the goals of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.

For effective climate protection, the Lufthansa Group is focusing in particular on accelerated fleet modernization, the use of SAF, the continuous optimization of flight operations, and offers for its private travelers and corporate customers to make a flight or the transport of cargo more sustainable.

In addition, the Lufthansa Group has been actively supporting global climate and weather research for many years.

The Lufthansa Group said it ensures that the amount of SAF required to offset individual CO2 emissions is fed into its operations within six months of purchase.
