Lufthansa and its other brands are bringing a greener fares option to long-haul

Green Fares give passengers the option to pay extra to offset individual flight-related CO2 emissions and purchase credits for sustainable aviation fuel. 

They will be offered on Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Swiss, Edelweiss, Discover Airlines and Air Dolomiti from 4 December. Green Fares will be available in all classes on more than 850,000 flights a year. 

Lufthansa Group has been offering Green Fares for short and medium-haul routes since February 2023. The group accounts for 122.5 million passengers, with currently 4% opting to pay the green levy.
