A carbon-neutral footprint by 2050. This is the ambitious target set by SWISS and the Lufthansa Group, and we’re putting every effort into achieving it, including making our aviation emissions as low as possible.
Green Fares: travel more sustainably with SWISS
These efforts include offsetting and carbon reduction measures like the deployment of new-fuel-efficient aircraft, the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and the continuous improvement of operational efficiency. One additional outcome of this strategy is Green Fares - new fares that make more sustainable travel possible both throughout Europe and on selected intercontinental routes.
Our new Green Fares will also earn you extra Points and enable you to enjoy flexible rebooking options, as well as the extra benefits of our Economy or Business Saver fares.
Reduce and offset: Green Fares throughout…
…Europe
The Business Green and Economy Green fares from the Lufthansa Group allow you to book a more sustainable flight using sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) that reduce flight-related CO₂ emissions (20% of the individual flight-related emissions) and offset the remaining flight-related CO₂ emissions (80% of the individual flight-related CO2 emissions) by making an equivalent contribution to high-quality climate protection projects. The Green Fares also include extra status miles, flexible rebooking options and are available to book directly through NDC.
…the rest of the world
We now offer Green Fares on a wide range of intercontinental routes, flown by the Lufthansa Group to make your travel more sustainable.
Selecting one of the Economy Green, Premium Eco Green, Business Green or First Green fares on intercontinental routes will reduce 10% of individual flight-related carbon emissions by using sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). The remaining 90% will offset by contributing to high-quality climate protection projects.
Applicable to intercontinental round-trip flights of Lufthansa Group Airlines, except for bookings to and from Japan and China, as well as for journeys starting in North and Central America.
Green Fares on domestic flights
On domestic flights between Zurich and Geneva, SWISS exclusively offers fares that already include offsetting of the CO2 emissions. This is achieved through a combination of the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and a contribution to high-quality climate protection projects, of 20% and 80% respectively. In addition, our passengers on this route have the option of choosing a Green Fare with an even higher proportion of SAF. This will reduce the individual flight-related CO2 emissions by 50% through the use of sustainable aviation fuels and offset the remaining 50% via climate protection projects.
The adjusted fares can only be booked for flight tickets between Geneva and Zurich. They are not available on feeder or connecting flights.
