Lufthansa Group and Airbus team up for business travel with SAF

Partnership will drive ‘greater sustainability’

The Lufthansa Group has been working on sustainable transformation in aviation for many years and offers companies a wide range of customised options for more sustainable flying.

Now, the Lufthansa Group is entering into an agreement with Airbus in the field of more sustainable business travel.

Since 1 June 2025, the ‘Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ has been used by Airbus for all Lufthansa flights taken by its employees within Germany.

This Lufthansa Group business fare enables offsetting of parts of the calculated CO2 emissions through the subsequent use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in future flight operations.

Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer Lufthansa Group, says: “Together with our customers and strong partners from the industry, we strive towards greater sustainability.

“I am particularly pleased and thankful that our long-standing partner Airbus has opted for a corporate fare with SAF, demonstrating its leading role also in the field of sustainability.

“For many companies and its employees, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in travel decisions. As a leading airline group, we are the partner of choice for companies in achieving their goals with tailor-made solutions.”

Raphael Duflos, Vice President Corporate Services Procurement at Airbus declares:

“We have been working in close cooperation with Lufthansa Group since early 2024 to customise their ‘Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ to meet the specific needs of Airbus travelers.

“They have helped us to create a meaningful offer incorporating Sustainable Aviation Fuels, starting in the German domestic market. We are confident that such ‘Sustainable Corporate Value Fare’ is going to be successful across the Business Travel ecosystem.”

The Lufthansa Group offers several special fares for corporate customers. With the “Sustainable Corporate Value Fare”, business customers can offset up to 30 per cent of the CO₂ emissions calculated for their flight using SAF in flight operations.

The Lufthansa Group also offers companies the opportunity to invest in larger quantities of SAF through SAF bulk deals.
